This is beautiful Shraddha. I am at an age where I think the only way a person (and maybe women seek more for a sense of home because we are constantly told that we don’t belong) can achieve a sense of home or feel she has reached home , is when she is comfortable in her own skin. Then it won’t matter where you are, you are at home.
Friend, you made feel inspired by your younger self, uncomfortable with your brutal candidness, angry at the world, and a crazy range of other emotions all at once with this one. Thank you - I'm grateful I had the opportunity to read this. Oh and if you forgot, you're doing so amazing. <3
How fascinating that we were living such similar lives in different corners of the country. I remember keeping CSR and PD editions carefully, practicing group discussions and civil services interview questions on my own. Read big words like UPSC and MBA in those magazines first. I used to think sitting in an IAS interview must be the most difficult thing in the world. I imagined myself doing that everyday, and felt scared by the possibility of it. This brings so much familiarity and nostalgia. How fascinating that our paths crossed the way they did:)
