I suppose I should start with hello. Although I’ve been part of the column Sunday Sentiments in Hindustan Times, it’s quite possible we haven’t met. Hitherto, I’ve lived in a different neighbourhood. My home was the Sunday magazine and although it altered considerably in the half decade I knew, I did not budge. Instead I chose to develop with it. From a diary, to a set of different stories, to a single idiosyncratic piece, I metamorphosed and put down roots. Ultimately, I came to belong. Let me therefore use this first knock on your door to introduce myself.
