last night, while scrolling through the glowing vacation pics from the Maldives, i realized my biggest adventure in months has been figuring out if there's halwa left over for iftar, yaar. the sunsets might be nice there, but my idea of 'going all out' is trying to change up the same biryani recipe for the fourth time this week. matlab, life’s not really about the destination when my bank account ...

yoo, so I just realized I let my coworker take the blame for a project mistake I totally made. I mean, the panic set in like, "what if they think I'm incompetent?!" So I just stood there, nodding along like an idiot, while they took the fall. now I'm awkwardly avoiding them because every time I see them, I feel like I owe them my entire lunch order. what if they find out? do I confess over a sandw...
