Your writing is like the Multigrain dosa(Adai in Tamil) on Iron Skillet with generous oil to make it crunchy soft.

Wow, that is high praise! I love Adai. Thank you so much, Sudha :) Means a lot.

Loved it, as usual!

A rather big/quick aside - I happened to be in Madrid this last week and just yesterday saw a big ad-hoarding of Alcazar. Suddenly got reminded of RAFA and now Alcazar (I am clearly not following tennis)

Reading your post just reminded me of all things tennis and my memories of it..

Thank you, Soumitra! Madrid must be in love with Carlos right now.

As always, I don’t know anything about Alcatraz (beyond what I now know after reading this post) but so well-written! Enjoy your time in Shillong :)

Thank you so much, Ila! :)

Well, this is the first article of yours I have read so I guess I will wait to call this “great” writing🙂. Enjoyed the post - look forward to more of these…After Federer faded, my tennis watching slumped but Alcaraz is bringing me back!
