A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE ROAD
Different cities.
Same us.
FRIENDSHIPNO EXPIRY
EST. IN CHAOS
For Arjun, from his best friend Naina.
New job. New city. Same person I’ll call with absolutely no news.
Some friendships
don’t need
a big origin story.
We sat next to each other on a day neither of us wanted to be there. You lent me a pen. I still haven’t returned it. Somewhere between shared notes and missed buses, you became my person for the pointless little things.
Wish you were here. Even when you were five minutes late.A FEW STOPS ALONG THE WAY
The route to
“remember when…”
- STOP 01
The first terrible plan.
A “quick trip” that took all day, cost too much, and became a story we’ve told for years.
- STOP 02
The days that needed no plan.
Same table, same order, a conversation that somehow never quite finished.
- STOP 03
The good news call.
You got the job. I was proud, happy, and quietly working out how far away the city was.
- NEXT STOP
A new map. The same team.
Go build the life you’ve been talking about. I’ll be here for the good news, the hard days and the weekend visits.
Open on
arrival.
For your first evening there +
Unpack just enough. Find somewhere good to eat. Send me a photo of the view, even if it’s just another building. It doesn’t have to feel like home on the first night.
For a day you’re doubting yourself +
I’ve watched you work towards this for a long time. A difficult day doesn’t undo that. Call me. We can complain first and figure it out later.
For when you miss our usual spot +
We’ll go when you’re back. Same order, no catching-up pressure. You’re allowed to make new favourite places too. Tell me about them.
POSTCARD NO. 02 / STILL TO BE WRITTEN
Take your time.
Find your feet.
Keep in touch.
The watch is for your new everyday.
This page is for remembering that you don’t have to do it all alone.
