A lovely reminiscence. There are diamonds to be found even in the trenches of a lived life. (If you haven't read Jhumpa Lahiri's 'The Lowland', you might find intersections.)

Love this. So amazing to have this glimpse of your early life and its echoes and repercussions now. Also, for me, it's wonderful to have this lens into India, at whatever time. And such beautiful, evocative writing.
