Ha! The feminist that died an ignominious death and resurrected as another avatar at the alter of life! The tale of Mona Mohan :D PS Cooking is still a challenge for me !!

Such a brilliant piece of writing, Reena. It resonates with me deeply. Thanks for reminding me of a much younger me. The memories had begun to blur. How strange it is that our common experiences connect us in unexpected ways. I have the same relationship with cooking. I had never imagined that I would find cooking for my loved ones so therapeutic and in fact always thought I’d never step into a kitchen. How naive I was! Can’t wait to order your book. ❤️

I could feel your anxiety and hope combined with your natural self confident poise. Evocative.

So lovely and powerful. As immigrants we have to be so strong willed, yet empathetic and soft to "assimilate" and build a new identity in a new country.

I love reading about this Reena, please definitelt share more🥰

What a wonderful poem of migration. Sharing this experience in this way will bring recognition to so many people. And might even open the hearts of those who are not particularly fond of migration.
