On Grief and Losing Bagha [en]

I’m in India. I’m in Pune. I’m in IUCAA. I’m where Bagha was born, where I started to love him. It’s also the place where I spent a short year with Aleika, Somak and Akirno, and the Shindes, and all the other people and beasts who were part of my Indian world.

My grandma has told me … Continue reading “Bagha's Story, First Part, First Draft [en]“

Leaving India Again [en]

I’ve gone back and forth between Switzerland and India a dozen of times now. It’s funny, people think I’m a big traveller because “India”, but actually, aside from a handful of countries in Europe and a few trips to North America, it’s pretty much the only place I’ve been. Leaving India has always been hard … Continue reading “Leaving India Again [en]“

Grieving My Little Feline Family [en]

I am so unbelievably sad to be left without my beautiful Quintus. I don’t want my life to be without him. I miss him, physically.
