-- Your words, Priya, resonate deeply on many levels. What is an endeavor if not a force that weaves its own narrative through the lens of time? Xo.

Priya! I didn't know we started at the same time. My Stackiversary was Saturday, but I kept my Monday schedule to announce it today. Happy birthday to both of us, a year into writing in this new and liberating way. 🎂 I love when you write about these libraries. :-)

Congratulations on a year completed! Here’s many more to come. And I know the libraries you are talking about—I visited “The Famous Bookstall” in Mumbai—so tiny, so cramped, and borrowed books for all of 50 paisa or 1 rupee. Alas, the librarian turned me away one day because “you are taking too much time to decide what book you want to read”🙄. Thanks for the nostalgia of old times and of course you are a writer, and a beautiful one at that!👌🏼
