Sruthi Ramachandran, a 34-year-old computational linguist with a fondness for vintage saris and sourdough starters, was not looking for fame. She was looking for her car keys.

Sruthi woke up on her living room floor, the OED open to the S’s. The word “Sruthi” was now printed there, between “sprout” and “shrug.” Its definition read: “n. The sound of being remembered.” #sruthiramachandran
