I’m a Parsi living in Bombay as well!

The detail in each step of the process is indistinguishable from what I’ve done so many times.

The surroundings and what it all means, captured by your essence within it, is extremely beautiful.

Keep it up loved it

Thank you so much, Ryan! I am based in London now (I wrote this when I was in Bombay in 2017-19, living in Cushrow Baug.) I hope to get back again soon. I have more writings from my time in India, which I'll be interspersing among other posts in this newsletter, as we go along. If you haven't already seen it, you might enjoy this piece, too:
