Seashells

What do you think is the difference between you and a Swiggy delivery woman? Oh, nothing much actually! On the day when i met her, she was wearing a wet swiggy tshirt, because she only has a single swiggy Tee.  Her namer is Uma. Uma is the mother of a baby boy, she drives a scooter. and is an introvert  I had met her for an interview. She was very skeptical to answer to my umpteen questions.  Unlike us, she does not get restless if the food ordered at the restaurant does not come on time.  Unlike us, she does not sit in the dining area, she waits at the lobby or at times outside the restaurant.  Unlike us, she was not even offered a glass of water at the restaurant.  Swiggy gives you the liberty to choose shifts, and hence Uma comes for delivery only according to her preference. "People that order keep calling, but at times forget to say thanks!" says Uma.  I almost lost sense of time, and travelled from Madhya Kailash to Adyar to The story of a Chinese Chef, to Ganga sweets.

You beautiful woman, I will set afoot on the quest. To unearth every nerve and trail my way through roads that would lead me to the darkest stories that my people are waiting to say. The trail will lead me to the people whom you haven't comforted enough. To the ones who have been unable to sleep peacefully on your chest. You are a blessing to my rival, but o woman, why are you turning a blind eye to my forefathers friends? Why are you running on an escape treadmill and soothing yourself with buckets full of tears and blood? You are the answer to the millions that left your land through the civil war.  Let me in. Lend a shoulder to the one in need.
