I am lying on the bed, thinking about the meetings that I can skip today. I decide to skip the one scheduled between 4 pm to 5 pm. “Can we do this after I go back to Bengaluru? It’s the weekend anyway,” I text on the WhatsApp group and switch off my internet. I am staying at my friend’s place in Gurgaon. The wedding season is on. It’s 11 am. I should go out of the guest room and plant myself in the living room. “What’s the AQI today?” I ask my friend, who is making some coffee for both of us. “It looks like 350,” he replies. “I think it’s 275,” I tell him. We check. It’s 387. He wins. I close the balcony door to get some fresh air. Such a weird sentence to write. We turn on the air purifier. And the AC. Global Warming is outside the window.
It's so funny and sad at the same time. You are great🫡
It's too all over the place. Like SamBahadur maybe. Great performance but lacks flow & coherency. But I love your writing anyday. :)
