These were not isolated incidents, but chilling reminders of how vulnerable the Western Ghats, Coastal Karnataka, and the Malnad region are during the monsoon.

Despite the long gap, we spoke with the comfort and familiarity of close friends. I even pulled his leg a bit - calling him out for being the kind of teacher who could control an entire class with just a stern look.
