'candied white eggplant, amber carrot jam in squat jars, grape molasses dark as motor oil, sheep's cheese in stacked cylindrical tins', could you do a post with just photographs?
so kind! I have been thinking of doing one with sketches actually since I have so many accumulated (and am a very visual thinker)— thanks for reading and for the encouragement ♥️
Your list of peers got me thinking... your writing style reminds me also of a travel memoir I read called "The Way of the Bull" by Leo Buscaglia. I recommend, it was great for me as I was learning to be vocal and intentional about learning different cultures for the first time. The way you describe life's interpersonal connections, really makes me want to strike up more conversations with the bodega man.
thank you so much for reading this and for seeing that part of me! that book looks awesome, going to pick it up as soon as I can. the folks at the bodega (/coffee shop, laundromat, subway, etc) often throw some real magic :)
what a beautiful delight to hear from you! thank you so much for the kind words and I'd love to see you. could you send me an email (vidushi.mishti.sharma@gmail.com) with your number and I'll send you a message? <3
I just love the way you write- it makes me want to visit those places and meet the people. You have a wonderful way of describing your experiences and expressing your thoughts….please keep sharing your stories- i look forward to reading them 🥰
It is a blessing to have genuine child-like curiosity and a love for humans of all genres, with an open heart and a quest to know, without judgement. It is the honesty of intent that makes them all open up their stories. But then it is your innate talent dear Mishti that tells the story in a way that doesn’t allow the reader to leave it midway. And now you have videography to add to the pleasure! Bless you babu…
As usual, I finish reading Mail Drop feeling inspired—not necessarily to overhaul my life, but to ask the lady at the coffee shop an unexpected question, and to consider the rich history behind each person I pass on my morning walk. Somehow, despite my shyness, those small changes in habit seem worth it. Who knows, maybe even transformative. Thank you, Mishti! and happy birthday!
:') thank you so much for the kind words — loved reading this and hearing from you. sending so much warmth your way and hoping for some beautiful everyday adventures in your future <33
