Hi Richa, it's so lovely to read your writing. I was scrolling on Instagram and found the link you had posted. There is something beautiful about the pace, rhythm and expression of this piece. As someone who hasn't posted in almost two years, I resonate so much with what you have written about the choice not to.
Happy that you had the holiday that inspired this piece and wishing you many more :)
Hey Arpita, what a delight to hear from you! Thank you for stopping by and reading my posts. Incidentally, I shared a link to this piece on Instagram (most ironically!), with access restricted to a limited audience that I have not actively been in touch with, just to see what it leads to. Among all the reasons I've listed for not using social media, I forgot to mention heightened self-consciousness when it comes to self-promotion. In any case, I'm glad it brought you here. :)
I noticed you were missing, even though we'd only been briefly introduced. I never knew of past pictures and only knew that fascination with someone whose POV I'd be interested in seeing. I'm sorry you were sick. I don't know your social media zones where you rarely post anything. I only know that you have a rare and interesting slant. I'm sorry pain or discomfort is coming back to a reality that isn't comfortable.
Thank you for the heartwarming comment. Although, like you said, we have only been briefly introduced, I greatly value the connection that I think we have found.
My desire to know what you did on the vacation is denied now.
But it is great to fulfil once desire by words than images since the words offer freedom to imagine and make the experience unique to self. Image denies imagination.
This is one of those reads which transports the reader to the places travelled and let’s them into the writer’s mind for a brief but an unforgettable look. Great to see another post from you.

In short, thanks for giving me a vacation.
Thank you, always, for your wonderful witticisms that allow me reckon with my own ideas.
The MET is always worth skipping in favour of MoMA lol. By the time you work out where's what at the Met, it's time to have left :)
I would imagine so! The Met deserves its very own visit to Manhattan.

Thank you :) I’m grateful and glad that this evokes in you what I hoped it would.
