"We are all literally in the same place at different points." Therefore, there is no need to think of art in terms of getting to some place.

Our inner life can remain sedate and tranquil amidst the formations that evolve slowly, silently and noisily.

Good piece.

Really appreciate the honesty with which each piece has been written, transforming the ache of rejection into something profoundly meaningful. I am quoting Kinjal every time I get rejected: "Writing in itself is such a lonely occupation. Rejections help me feel camaraderie with others." Thank you :)

Appreciating this. Thank you specially to Kinjal - 'I' haven't been rejected, 'it' has. An important distinction, and necessary for my sanity.

Love Kunjana's piece. It resonates with me deeply and is reminiscent of Adama Grant's "It’s more important to be good ancestors than dutiful descendants."
