Thank you, Samira. For seeing that and showing it to me. Funny how we don't notice these things about our own writing until a writer friend points it out! <3
I feel like i wrote atleast half of that list if not more.. can we be friends? im a teacher too, currently stuck in the worst time of my life.. your words are almost like a once a month phone call from my second mother in delhi, but nicer, she only scolds and tells me to hurry up and get married.. im not sure yet what your seasons are or what substack is, but ill explore. and come back when i need a hot cup of your thoughts.. see ya soon!
What a list!! The shame you help them kids confront, the number of things they might feel ashamed of and the number of things they might shame their teachers for….listed so playfully ♥️. What craft!
Love it, Raju.
This: “hey, let’s use this extra piece of flesh to put up some shiny piece of art” 😂😂
Thank you, Priyanka. 💘
What an insightful list Raju! Loved all of it - but some of it more. Its in incredible how you layer class and society in seemingly harmless lists.

This is so Raju! Wisdom and mirth mix together in every line. And I totally agree about the scented erasers😀
