is there always something on your mind at all times throughout the day? or do you like to lay back a lil, with nothing on your mind, just letting time drift by?
at any time, how many hobbies can you concurrently nourish and grow at?
Such a fun and breezy read! There is a lovely effortlessness to the writing and what's more remarkable is that you did it in six minutes. (Sometimes, I labour for hours to write a half decent sentence.) Great stuff!
Ah! Love the part about grocery list and the nostalgia it inspires in me…apart from the inexplicable crushes which is one of my favourite phrases from yesterday ♥️🌼
Such visual writing, these small windows into something bigger. I’ll never understand how Natasha and Raju perform their black magic and dig things out from their writers in 6 minutes.
Sabena is still very much on my monthly grocery list, of course we have graduated to sending our monthly provision list by WhatsApp instead of writing it down on scraps of paper. And I was told to always start the list with sugar, manjal ( turmeric) is a new one!

Sir, this is a discussion for IRL, I promise. Please know, I have a PHD in doing nothing. :D
These lists were delivered to the store by us on cycles and they would then send everything in small brown packets. We were the apps!
Btw uthara lovely to meet you at the workshop. It is super to meet writers whose work one loves to read🤩
Cycle deliveries sound awfully convenient! Super nice to see you at the workshop too Soumya! <3
🤣
The description about writing and resetting are so articulate💛
Love the list - “It's funny how the small details come rushing back when you let them. Maybe there’s something there.”
love the tiny details 🥺
Thanks Eesha!

I would pay money to learn about your process!
You'd be better off paying to watch a monkey paint 🙈😂

Lovely post!
A delightful piece, as always, Uthara! Love these lists of the small details.
I’ve always been curious about the effect of community on the pursuit of writing. I like the sound of what they do at Ochre Sky Stories.
Coincidentally, I recently compiled a list of my crushes, only to find that “all the boys I ever loved” are really all the boys I never loved.
hahaha this list of crushes + what they mean could be some type of collective feminist writing work. thank you for your generous comments Richa! <3
