Focus story: In several instances, time seemed to expand (brain works faster to give more time to react)

1998: I had a minor accident on my bicycle, colliding with the tire of a stationary 18-wheeler truck. Despite lasting only 1 second, it felt like 10 seconds.

2006: During a national-level competition at COEP Technological University, I operated a toy vehicle. The 15 seconds I had expanded into 150 seconds, helping me secure the first prize.

2015: In my first technical interview at ZS, 30 minutes felt like 300 minutes. This extended time allowed me to think thoroughly and answer case study based questions asked by interviewer.

2012-24: My 12 years of marriage feel like 120 years. This extended time is needed to think and respond to wife's questions 😂
