At Chadu's Wedding, Smoking With My Father's Friends

December 5, 2024

I'm at Chadu's wedding at ten in the morning, taking in the room and clocking my father's old friends across from me. Then I end up smoking a cigarette with Saroj and Martinn, and that becomes the real little payoff of the day. It feels like one brief moment of stepping into an older male world instead of just standing beside it.
