Like every other day, I was busy scrolling down Quora and paused at a question, the  top answer  of which sort of, pissed me off. I was aggravated with the tone of the answer, which is sadly the major reason for the huge response the answer is receiving.  Here's the screenshot of the question: And here's the answer I'm talking about: The answer is hidden in this anecdote I : I have a  friend, NIT graduate used to work for one of the largest steel makers in the world, and in due course of time he was engaged to his girlfriend.  Two years into the job he applied for and was accepted into the prestigious Indian Military Academy.  When he broke this news to his girlfriend she immediately put a choice to him "Either join the Army or marry me".

Tara keeps visiting the cafe Ved borrowed a book from, back when they were in Corsica, France (Wait, the place is damn beautiful!) And after they meet one day in

I have to handle the clutch, break, accelerator, steering and the rear-view mirror, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! 2.

You wish you could do this to every vehicle trying to overtake you!                         5. And then there's a moment you want to quit driving and continue taking
