Poignant narrative. Such empathy and insight. I hope you flourish in your life.

Incredible how the sofa becomes this anchor point for understanding complicity. The way privilege creates this paralysis wher e awareness doesn't necessarily lead to action is spot on. I spent time in Delhi and saw similar scenes, and still grapple with how economic mobility for some requires stagnation for others. The naked child image cuts throuhg all the abstractions about inequality.

One feels the pulse and the tragedy of life here. The sofa scene really does anchor the story - what a scene- a glimpse into what I imagine is a chaotic world of heartbeats, breaths, and survival.
