Oops Moments — Dimaag Ki Batti Gul
Those everyday moments when the brain takes a chhoti si chhutti.
An oops moment is a temporary lapse in logic — what English calls a "brain fart" — where someone does something obviously silly without realizing it at the moment.
These are the moments when your brain just... stops working for a second. Everyone experiences them, and they're usually hilarious in hindsight.

🔐 Locking the door, then immediately checking if it's locked
🍽️ Replying "you too" when a waiter says "enjoy your meal"
