i will never recover from this. i will confess, the last time I read something in Hindi by myself was probably machli jal ki raani hai, so obviously i struggled. but all thanks to the TTS.

i remember you telling me about your trip to delhi, a very thrilling one. how could a thrilling experience excavate such a soul deep truth and debate on religion and politicised discourse that's being sold in the contemporary times. we live in a world where the nation that celebrates and takes pride in diversity is so cracked to the core, that now it boasts about the difference they inhabit.

my heart hurts a little bit, not going to lie. you know how you read something so great it kind of changes you and alters your brain chemistry a little? this is one of that. you're a genius.

also, there's this poem in bengali by Kaji Nazrul Islam called, "মোরা এক বৃন্তে দু'টি কুসুম হিন্দু-মুসলমান।" this piece reminded me of that poem.

i still have to process this piece of yours. it's so wonderfully bittersweet, it's amazing.
