Summary

In this episode of A Little Zen, A Little Mess, Seema reflects on the quiet ache of childhood friendships that slowly faded with time. Through memories of Mumbai building compounds, shared packets of chips, handwritten notes, and evenings that needed no planning, this episode explores how some people become woven into a version of ourselves we can never fully return to. Not every friendship ends with a goodbye. Sometimes life simply moves people out of each other’s every day. And yet, the meaning they carried stays with us forever. Learn more about your ad choices.
