Nostalgia treat, Savvy! I'm 44 and I was smiling at every paragraph you wrote, that summer to-do list, and that Y2K brouhaha were the best! Then of course there's the curse of diaries! I wanted to restack every other sentiment narrated here ❤️ Thank you for sharing that picture again. *sigh*
What a treat to read this piece (hard relate on pehle kyun nahin uthaya crying 😂 and lists where our lives were supposed to transform) and see us all together again 🦭.
So fresh and fragrant, your writing, always, but ye toh extremely mast hai:
"A new bar of soap taken out of its crisp packing while the old one awaits its end—some whose end is closer (like a chip) than others (still a bar). There is a weird thrill in waving the fragrant wrapper of a new soap at Udit’s face. Unless of course he has already opened a new soap for himself first in which case we prep for round two of the Soap Wars!"
So much that I resonate with the summer vacation timetable, fresh diaries for new beginnings, angry on the loss of good work by Oxfam India...love your honest writings dear Savvy!
