"Let's run away from home", she said.
"Runaway? You are not 20 anymore. You are on the wild side of 40."
"But I feel like I am 16."
"Totally shows...."
"Po ya, you are making fun of my dingy small-town roots."
"Pondicherry is not a small town."
"Agreed. It's a lovely town. Let's run. Get the car and drive over."
"Our children will report as having eloped."
"Good na, we shall be their role models."
"You cannot drink and drive, so I shall have to drive right till Pondy."
"Even better."
"What if we drive to Pondy and discover it to be just like Pune. The world is a circle, you know that right?"
Chewing on the toast, she said, "Our world does not appear to be a complete circle. Else we both would have met earlier on the perimeter, ages ago."
"Some circles are best left open, that way we can always walk out."
