FROM SHOES AND SOCKS AND UNIFORMS

from shoes and socks and uniforms

to jeans and kholapuris

from candysticks and lollipops

to ‘chais’ and pani puri

from ‘love bug’ ‘champ’ and ‘mickey mouse’

to ‘papillon’ and ‘damien’

from ‘please excuse’ and ‘thank you, miss’

to ‘freak out’ ‘cool’ and ‘hey men’

from hidden scenes and silent work

to leadership and maybe

lots of other grown up things

you’ve come a long way baby! (Malu)
