Chapter 28
Hey y’all I can’t write in any other script except for Tamil and English for the life of me but I guess risks are fun??? (There is a 100% chance there’s a spelling mistake in there.)
This is an actual song–Sanson Ki Mala Pe is a bhajan originally rendered by the Hindu esoteric poet Meerabai and later delivered as a qawwali (South Asian Sufi devotional songs). Its most famous version is attributed to legendary qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Sophie, the girl, is given a spell and transformed into an old woman. It would be a lie to say that turning young again would mean living happily ever after. I didn’t want to say that. I didn’t want to make it seem like turning old was such a bad thing — the idea was that maybe she’ll have learned something by being old for a while, and, when she is actually old, make a better grandma. Anyway, as Sophie gets older, she gets more pep. And she says what’s on her mind. She is transformed from a shy, mousy little girl to a blunt, honest woman. It’s not a motif you see often, and, especially with an old woman taking up the whole screen, it’s a big theatrical risk. But it’s a delusion that being young means you’re happy.

Songkran 2017
Date: April 13, 2017
Celebrated in Thailand every April 13-15, Songkran is the New Year’s holiday famous around the world for it’s water festival. For many visitors to the Southeastern Asian country, it’s primarily just an excuse for an epic water battle in the streets of a tropical paradise. For Thai people, though, the holiday is also a time to do good deeds and spend time with family.
The name of the holiday is derived from a Sanskrit term that describes the movement of the sun through the sky as the seasons change. Traditionally, Thai people celebrate Songkran by visiting temples to pour water over statues of Buddha, or by visiting elder relatives to pour water over their hands. These acts are known to be symbols of purification — a spring cleaning of sorts. And in a place where daily temperatures reach highs of 88°F in the month of April, it’s easy to see how the tradition might’ve evolved into the all-out splash-fest it is today.
The water festival is now so well established, some cities shut down busy streets during celebration days, allowing participants to safely soak anything and anyone that crosses their paths. So if you’re strolling around Thailand in mid-April and a total stranger douses you with water, consider it a compliment!

Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
