Riya & Ananya: 14 Years Since Class 3

For Ananya ("Annu"), from Riya, Mumbai. A fictional friendship.

A Classic hardcover in the Kraft scrapbook style for Annu's 22nd birthday, from a Class 3 photo Riya's mother kept to monsoon evenings at the snack stall.

  1. Faded school photo of two eight-year-old girls in uniform sharing a tiffin box on a corridor bench.

    Class 3, Section B. You took my eraser on day one and gave it back in Class 9. Mummy kept this photo for fourteen years, so it gets page one.

  2. Two young women laughing at a roadside snack stall on a rainy evening, holding small glasses of tea.

    So Annu: one cutting chai, two vada pav, and "bas paanch minute", which always means forty.

  3. Two young women seen from behind, sitting on a sea wall at sunset with their heads leaning together.

    I never say it, so here it is: you are the first person I call, for everything. Happy 22nd, Annu. Scan the code to hear the rest.

Six friends laughing around a small roadside tea stall at dusk, holding glasses of tea.

  1. Faded phone photo of six college students squeezed onto a bench beside a tea stall, younger and laughing.

    First year of college: six strangers, one tapri outside Gate 2, and a bill nobody wanted to split. Some things never change.

  2. Five friends laughing as they push an old small hatchback while a sixth friend steers from the driver's seat.

    Gang Awards. Always late: Joel. The planner: Fatima. The foodie: Aditi. The one with the car: Harpreet, and the car still does not start.

  3. Six hands raising small glasses of tea together over a wooden bench in warm evening light.

    Where we will be in ten years: same tapri, same bench, a little more grey. Six cutting chai, please.

Varun's Off to Melbourne: Hyderabad Will Wait

For Varun, from Sameer, Keerthana and Pranav, Hyderabad. A fictional friendship.

A Mini softcover in the Instant-photo minimal style, small enough for his cabin bag. Sameer shared the gang link with surprise mode on, and nine friends from college and work added a photo and a goodbye line. Captions mix English and Hinglish, and eight open-when pages at the back are for his first months away.

  1. Four friends around a small restaurant table late at night with steel plates of biryani, one reaching for a second plate.

    Our city, in one plate: biryani at midnight after every exam. You always said you were not hungry, and you always ordered two.

  2. Friends laughing as one sits on a bulging suitcase to close it while another pulls the zip, and a third holds up a pickle jar.

    Packing night. Keerthana sat on the suitcase, Pranav did the zip, and you still tried to fit Amma's pickle jar in. That is what we will miss: you, exactly like this.

  3. Four friends at a marble-topped table in an old cafe with bentwood chairs, cups of milky tea and a plate of biscuits.

    First thing when you are back: Irani chai and Osmania biscuits at the same corner table. We will keep your chair. Your open-when pages start overleaf.
