Slow day, so I'm publishing the college admissions essay that got me waitlisted at an Ivy I could never have afforded to attend way back in 2021. Enjoy!
this read popping up on my feed reminded me that I had lukewarm tea sitting on my bedside table that I had to finish. lovely reminder that I'm not alone <3
It is rare that a cup of tea is full of just water. It is its own third place!
Poignant. Thank you for reading, and happy holidays!
Now everytime I make tea, it'll remind me of this. Loved it.
so glad to be permanently part of your tea-making :) thank you for reading
Beautifully written and resonated with, keep writing 🌹🌹
Thank you so much Fariha, it means a lot! <3
It gave me RK Naryan vibes and i liked it :)
Narayan is a very old childhood favourite! But I always liked Swami and Friends more than Malgudi Days. Thank you for reading!
OMG, i relate with this sm that i want to write a poem on it😭
Do it and tag me! I’ve written poems about mothers and tea before too :)
I'm glad that I discovered your publication through this brilliant essay!

Reading this with a warm cup of tea I made in a friend’s flat.
Fabulous essay! I am so glad I stumbled upon your writing with this essay.

I feel like having a cup of tea now 🤤. Beautiful writing; love the subtle politics.
I just made tea before reading this piece. Good writing, but I drink while it's still hot.
I love it when people find the time to stop, and live a slow life
