Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju Instagram – “The feeling is coming,” I’d say to my mother when I was six, attempting to describe the dreaded monsoon monochrome. I’d find myself suddenly devoid of simple joy, days would trudge along with decreasing momentum. The fundamental belief that body and mind were broken would intensify, grades would falter, and I’d find myself yearning for endless sleep, only waking up one of two things – fixed or female. Today, depending on where the goalposts and serotonin levels are, I am both and neither. I must admit with regret, I do not like the Bombay (or any) monsoon. It is an aesthetic at best, if not a potential sleep/mood disturbance looming large.
Thanks for your eye, your gaze, and capturing a version of me I didn’t know existed, @knotmeera 🌸❤️ | Posted on 09/Jul/2024 16:12:02
