In an effort to reconnect with old friends dispersed by time, space, and COVID, I organized Zoom calls with my classmates from J B Vachha, a school that runs till the 10th grade. The process was heart-warming as we spent hours catching up, admiring each other’s growth, and reminiscing about our school days. The calls ended with us wishing each other well, leaving me fulfilled.
Inspired by the calls, I asked them to write letters to me, which I sealed with a stamp I carved of our school emblem. I also created a journal (reminiscent of a phone book I used to keep) where I mapped our lives geographically from graduation. Both were a way to create a tangible record of our conversations and journeys at that point in time.
