Contact, but don’t

I know this is where I’m supposed to list my email, social media handles, maybe a cute little form where you can tell me what a brilliant writer I am, or how your relative once fell into a manhole in Byculla and you demand I include it in the next edition.

Or maybe you’re here to say you’re offended, outraged, or emotionally bruised by anything written here. Please take a number and get in line behind the good people from Offended Anonymous. They’ve already sent me a 3 pager-list of things that have offended them.

As for friends wanting to “catch up” or “collaborate,” please use the traditional Mumbai method of communication: yell my name across the road, hope I hear you over the traffic, and pray I don’t pretend I didn’t.
