I’d quote the full length of the essay here but I’d rather you wander over to the Granta website to let it cast its spell on you. The otherness, avant gardeness, foreignness of ageing, of being fazed out by life itself somewhat made me think (albeit very narrowly) about the way we live and be and exist in Delhi.

There is a lot more that I can identify with here. Gary’s essay about age and greying and growing old spoke to me so directly, it somewhat made me jump out of my skin.
