my parents just asked me if i have a plan for when they find me a match, like they dont get that i am barely keeping up with my bills and still eating instant noodles while they discuss dowry like they are at a car dealership.
saw that coworker i’ve been dodging for months at the grocery store, and instead of just walking away, i smiled and waved like everything is totally fine while i was literally dying inside. i forgot how to make small talk so i just ended up asking if they had tried that weird new brand of toothpaste that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie.
yaar, matlab samjho na, when my brother was taken to that baba, part of me just watched, watched him get chained up and thought maybe i should have fought harder to bring him home. घर वाले समझते नहीं, just do what the village says.

so there i am in the grocery store parking lot, heart racing like i'm about to win an Olympic medal, and all i wanted was some milk but instead i’m having a full-on existential crisis about the avocados like are they really worth my sanity, because it feels like i need a life coach just to pick produce.
