I am a Bangalorian at heart, and its Darshini-culture. Your article made me see my own fast-paced Darshini visit in slow-motion with a sweet relaxing music in the background. Somehow this article has music, and capability to slow down the heart beat - it ignites my heart's association with Darshini - a place to relax quickly, take a break quickly, rejuvenate quickly.
Amazing, I'm so thrilled to hear you relate to this feeling of changing temporal rhythm inside the darshini! Your comment that this felt musical is so generous - thank you Charu. :)
Malavika you transported me to a foreign land in a first class experience! Even though this sounds like my personal hell, it was heavenly to witness it through your words. I was hooked. What a superpower you have to capture and convey these time bending bits of beauty. I continue to look forward to reading you!
Thank you Steven, gosh, I appreciate your reading the piece and leaving me this lovely, encouraging note. I'll be coming back to it when I need to know I should keep going.
I'm so grateful to hear it felt like an experience to savour. P.S. I love how lyrical your words here here - the place as one's personal hell but witnessing it through another's words as heavenly. :)

Mouth watering and culturally enriching.
Loved seeing these moments through your eyes Malavika, poetic and interesting while learning a lot :)
Thank you Oscar, as always for reading, but also for letting your mind wander into such niche foreign territory :)
Oh how I miss the filter coffee. Thank you for transporting me back home for a moment. Loved the drawing.!
Shubham, thank you for reading and thank you for letting me know the piece was able to help you travel back to a darshini memory. It means a lot!
Haha, and that visual - gosh I had so much fun with it. Thanks for noticing. :)
You totally took me there Malavika. What a delightful read.
Thank youuuu. I'm so glad. This will have to do, until you can get yourself to an actual darshini. :)

Had the very same experience reading this Steven.
Oh dear, I'm so glad to hear this, Rick!
