Best: Notebook
Best Ever
I found my notebook today while cleaning some boxes. 'Nine Rupees an Hour' it says. Labour of love. It was, you know. The launch was the best thing ever - everybody in the book came to Chennai. ALL of them. A few travelled to the city for the 1st time. The Universe was kind 🖤 https://t.co/e3RPWlgwld
