A simple gesture by a Bengaluru founder has touched thousands online after he shared how he spent meaningful time with his father by taking him to a cafe on a Sunday.
Arnav Kumar revealed that instead of asking his father what he wanted to do, he chose to take him along for his own regular outing — working and reading from a cafe.
