Thank you for this beautiful story ❤️ what incredibly special times you’ve had with Nanu. I wish your family all so much joy and health! What a magical, beautiful universe you bring us to, I truly didn’t want your writing to come to an end 😊
thank you so much for these incredibly kind words! somehow didn't see your comment til now, revisiting this essay after over a year and two more trips to Lucknow to visit my grandfather. really appreciate you and happy you could find another space in these words, and wishing you the best of health and joy too :)

I didn't expect I'd spend so much time reading through these posts but I did. Thanks for writing!
I've lived with my parents all my life, and questioned whether I should move away or not. Your essays are wonderfully written and help me imagine the life I'll have it I choose a different path!
thank you so much for the kind note here <3 apologies for not seeing it sooner. appreciate you noticing those tiny details; they do tell the biggest stories. and I empathize with how hard the decision can be!
