Sanket, I ate this essay, and rightly so. I ate the joy of food and the grief it helps us deal with, I ate the chicken with you and the crab with your wife. I saw the crow and I saw you. Food is this difficult matrix for me, so I ate your confusion of it just as much as your clarity.
This just left me speechless. Having been through the same event but with such a different view. Beautifully written. Could feel and picture everything mentioned. Love.
Brilliant essay, Sanket! Your honesty, your effort and your craft shine through here. Thank you for this. I am now thinking of my own messy relationship with food. That story is for another day :)
This is one of those essays that I know will go into the deep crevices of my heart and soul and stay there. From the petulant young man to the special plate for fish thorns to the engineer enjoying her crab curry to the grief of losing a grandparent....everything. 😊🩵
I felt the intensity of emotions behind all the food, brilliant!
Thank you for reading Ayush 💕
