Adjudicated Parallels

Yesterday I was bearing the brunt of Poseidon's fury. The whole territorial waters of a small sleepy hamlet in Bengaluru --where I live-- had kept me busy. As I was wading through these in order to reach my destination which is a refreshment outlet, the journey was harrowing and thoughtful. I was pensive because of the slush and this torrential downpour had left me wondering which road to walk on.
