My Shopping List

My cousin’s on a weeklong break visiting his family in Delhi.
He messaged me,

‘Anything you want from here?’

My reply,

‘Just a box of mom’s migraine medicine – “Vasograin”.’

In retrospect, I should have replied,

‘Yea, a box of the famed Nattu’s cashew barfi, a pair of those new lovely long earrings that’s the rage now. A booster shot of high morale and a donor for a *** *********** ********* - a considerate one at that. And maybe some pills for preserving sanity.’
