I've wanted the Longines Avigation BigEye since 2022. I turn forty this week, and I still haven't bought it.
Geet Talkies in Civic Center, Bhilai, where I saw Jurassic Park, cycled to free Sunday shows as a kid and sat in the rowdy lower section through college.
The Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth was the first novel I read, at sixteen, picked at random from a bookcase in Bhilai during a summer too hot for cricket.
Indian Coffee House in Bhilai, from monthly hospital breakfasts with my grandmother to a veg cutlet, French toast and two black coffees this morning for ₹350.
The food trucks at Civic Center, Bhilai, where birthdays, first salaries and New Year parties ran on pooled money, chicken chilli and tandoori roti, and where I still eat whenever I'm back.
