- Arnav Kumar took his father to a cafe to work and read on a Sunday
- He chose to involve his father in his routine instead of asking plans
- The outing became a shared experience and new opportunity for bonding
A simple Sunday outing has captured attention online after a founder shared how he found a meaningful way to spend time with his father. The post was shared by Bengaluru entrepreneur Arnav Kumar, who wrote about introducing his "Baba" to the idea of working or reading from a cafe on a Sunday.
Instead of asking his father what he wanted to do, Kumar chose to take him along for his own routine, turning a regular cafe visit into a shared experience.
He explained that he's realised that asking his parents what they want to do isn't very effective, so now he takes them along to do what he's doing.
According to Kumar, asking his father to suggest a plan often doesn't yield results, so he started involving him in his daily activities.

I have realised there is no use asking my parents what they want to do.
Now I just get them along to do whatever I am doing.
I get to do what I want.
For them, it is a new experience.
And we spend time… pic.twitter.com/ZOUg8lh9Zj
He also shared a photo from the outing, in which his father is sitting in a cafe, comfortably reading a book, with a cup of coffee beside him.
