what a beautiful story! Loved how you wove real life complex social economic issue into a simple yet rich story. Looking forward to more such literary nuggets from you!
What a lovely story, Reena. I loved that the worries died “helpless and weak.” I do have rituals that help me. I’m curious about the paradox of rituals: clinging too tightly to them gives them way too much power and not having any can leave one feeling unrooted.
Thank you for the restack @ts1213
My Indian friend’s mama used to make Barfi, I loved it. Haven’t had it since circa 1975! Xx

Beautiful, as always. I hope you set up that fantasy town. I’ll move there.
Thanks for the restock @Priya Iyer and @Paul Wittenberger. Very much appreciated 🙏
Have you thought of publishing a book of your 100 word stories?
I read that Free Press article. It was so hopeful. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely loved this!! So beautiful and powerful, I am inspired 💫
Also that the 100 word story packs an impact that is different than a leisurely feel in your original story.
