Surprising to discover that the hardest part about trying to be brave is that sometimes it feels virtually indistinguishable from being stupid.

Thought I would swing by the Bombay Yacht Club while in Mumbai like I’m the Protagonist in Tenet but of course it’s members only and I can’t get in so ended up settling for the Starbucks across the street
