The first pin drop felt like care
You remember the exact reason you turned it on. Maybe it was late and you were driving back from your friend's place in Andheri. Maybe he'd read something frightening in the news and asked, gently, just so he'd know you were safe. You said yes without thinking about it because it cost you nothing and it meant something to him. That's how it begins for most Indian couples, not with suspicion, but with tenderness. A small digital gesture that says: I want to know you got home.
