Cut to size?
While we were rolling with laughter, tip tapping on the floor, engrossed in a fun and frolic ride, someone just dropped a thing that landed with a thud, leading to an uncomfortable silence. We still went ahead through this silence, coming out with a thought at the end of it.

In the face of adversity
For answers to all your 'modern' problems, return to your roots. The dichotomy isn't unfamiliar. Following the same tradition is author and former journalist Janaky Sharma, who has recently brought forth her fourth mythological book, Sita: the Furrow Princess, which she says stands tall in the wake of gruesome, never-ending crimes against women in the country.
Kerala-born 53-year-old Janaky believes the modern woman can learn everything she needs for a life of fulfillment through the goddess of sacrifice,
