    The Entity called spouse.

    It is Friday and instead of nursing my Robusta at the mango meadows or 91 springboard, and mulling over why Kerala got flooded, I am listening to Maria go combusta… “How can I prove that I am alive? Do you think slicing my wrist will help.” Though the right answer for that would have been,…
