I like how I'm left wanting to know more about this character at the end. Why is he alone at home? What sort of life does he live? What meaning will he find in life next? Deserves to be expanded into a short story.
This was written in a major state of FOMO - for wanting to be a part of a collab with limited time on hand. Hence limited details about his life. Appreciate the feedback, perhaps Mr. Kapoor will indeed show himself more. :-)
Oh man! This hit hard! The years of work life stretch out far ahead, it seems like, but do they really? And are we investing enough in life outside of work to have a life after work is done? Sigh, lots to think about!
I'd intentionally not read any of the pieces very deeply during the planning phase, Shaili, and I'm so glad, because as I read this just now on a Sunday evening, I was caught completely off guard at that last entry. It was so beautiful! No spoilers in the comment, but I'll ping you with a specific.

I was wondering where this was going. Great buildup and what a strong ending. 👏
Thank you Gowri :-)

Its never too late. :-)
Led me back to practice the piano after a long while today! Felt like I was back in nursery! Quite a demotion, that but it keeps things real for sure!
