I have to find out when we all decided to write about age. I do. While growing up in Nakhlau 100 years ago, somehow, these conversations never crossed me. This is also to say that I never ever had the time or energy to reflect on the journey. I am way too old now, but I do not find time to reflect. I am not mourning that; it is just a fact I live with.
So, reading this was a balm. It is so good to read your substack, Soumya. Be well, be still and keep moving. It doesn't make sense, right? Life never does, anyway.
“But I take the most pride in being my own muse, relentlessly pursuing whims and devouring fleeting interests, yet grounded, no longer at sea in the city by the sea**. “
Lovely! The self-discovery and self-expression in your writing is always a delight.
Now please don't wait another year before writing the next issue. 😃
Thanks for the confidence, Rohan!

Even 100 is not too old to sit and reflect. It's actually best seller material. Maybe even better balm material. :)
