Ria chuckled. "That was just a warm-up. Today has been much crazier."
In a quirky corner of the internet, a group of friends had created a peculiar index to measure the levels of absurdity and chaos in their daily lives. They called it the "Masaaan Index," a tongue-in-cheek nod to the Hindi phrase "masaan" meaning "carnage" or "mayhem."
The Masaaan Index was a subjective measure, updated daily by the group, to track the intensity of weirdness in their surroundings. It ranged from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating a perfectly ordinary day and 10 signifying utter pandemonium.
"Whoa, that's a new high," Akash exclaimed.
