So cool that your friend passed on my article in the SEP. Thank her for me, would you? Meanwhile, I wonder if my membership in AARP will be revoked because of my refusal to retire?
What would I tell my 21-year-old self? To be feistier, to call out all the #metoo monsters (and oh how many there were in my early years in India), to be unafraid of writing up every experience, to process what was happening to me, to keep a diary to see how I was evolving through the years. You've done something valuable and I hate myself for not doing what you've done admirably, consistently well. Loved this post!
Thanks so much Kalpana! Given how long I’ve writing in my journal, it almost feels like breathing to write in it. Which reminds me: I need to do an entry today!
You failed to tell yourself to go to cooking school . . . .
But I did manage to eat for all those years.
Eat what, pray tell?
You know, foir gras, ortolans, dodo gumbo. The usual stuff.
Foir gras is so superior to foie gras. I couldn't agree with you more, my man . . . .
I so like ortolans and dodo stuff!
Bah. Spellcheck! I even looked it up before it was “corrected.”
Just found your name in an article in Saturday Evening Post (passed on by a friend)!
What a charming blog you have! Happy to peek into your life and share your thoughts!
