I Remember Life Before the Internet
I remember, many things. But maybe I wouldn't write about them tonight. I do remember treasure hunts. And playing cricket at nana's place.
My mom's sister just whatsapped me some old pictures of their family. Beautiful ladies. Confident, flashy, fitting the pop culture stereotype of the 90's. And her wedding picture in her pink dress. Necklace, nose-ring...her wrists weighing down in gold...tragically ironic. My other aunt, with her chubby children at some prominent landmark of some place on earth. Dressed in a loose flannel shirt, stonewashed jeans, stretching a fake smile. It is painful to see these.
Bitter-sweet.
Tonight is not a good night.
