Roll call

A room full of strangers in blazers. You were one of them. So was I.

02The circuit

Oh, you’re here too?

Conference after conference, the same face across the room. Then a seat saved. Then lunch.

03The café

Then there were three

Enter Pragy. Three of us, one table, at whichever café we’ve picked this time.

04Everything Will Be Okay

Friends, then
colleagues

I became the web developer for your organisation, Everything Will Be Okay.

05Plans

You’re famous for two things: being late, and cancelling at the last minute. We make plans anyway.

06Pickup

I’m outside

You say two minutes. It is never two minutes. It is ten to fifteen, every single time.

+00:00Waiting outside

07Story time

Stories first,
driving later

The car doesn’t move until we’ve seen every story. Twice.

08The long version

Engine off,
still talking

I complain about the fifteen minutes before you get in. I’ve never once counted the hours after.

×1“Okay, I should go”

09Miles

Further apart

You moved to the US to study; I was in Pune. Whenever you came home, all three of us met. Then I moved to Canada.

10Likes, not texts

Canada and the US. Some months we barely talked, but I saw every story and every spam-account post, and you saw mine. We always knew.

11A few weeks ago

Finally

Two, three years later, all three of us at one table again.

12Today

Back in committee

One last motion on the floor.

Make a wish

Happy birthday, Yashvi.
Another year of you. Worth every minute.

For Yashvi
