She

‘Sureshetta ,what time is it?’. Madhavan was anxious. ‘Why’, sniggered grumpy Sureshettan,’ you have an appointment with the minister after serving us tea?’. Madhavan sighed and wiped the tea stains off the table with the cloth that was perpetually on his shoulder. She still wasn’t here. It has been three days now.

Italy by Road- Last leg (Venice)

Final Stop- Venice (Venezia)The last stop on our trip, and without a doubt the best one, was Venice. It’s around 500 kms from Pisa.
