Polka dot socks and nutella toast. Orange kameez and turkish earrings. Water bowls and wet food. Your writing, like your life, is a cellular organism; alive, vibrant and even then, a practise. Tumhe 22 topon ki salaami behan! Fuck every doctor that says we lack discipline. In the slowness of sloth-y mornings, our minds have cooked up a storm, our hearts, a universe.

Sanobar chilgoza! I also remember that first session that let loose so much within all of waiting to be unchained and I distinctly remember the Nutella toast deal because photographic-memory-about-all-the-most-random-details five) but also because it made me also crave for one toast generously lathered with the spread. It is glorious to witness you from that time and it is glorious-er to give our own selves permission to thrive as you give yourself to do that! Love love love!

You read my mind, Sana. Thank you! I say this with all the humility in the world - I am in awe of my journey. I can’t help comparing the start of my growth with Ochre Sky, and not just in terms of writing, to now. I’m so grateful to have us come together the way we’ve all done! Aur haan, next time, lets not ditch the Cat Cafe but, lets meet at mine to have that Nutella toast together :)
