What might we bring with us on our journey to anywhere if all we were given was a suitcase to fill up? If every object in the suitcase had to tell a tale about you and our world, how would you choose?
I'm sorry for your loss, Kalpana. You said it so well: "The first thing we need to stuff into each of our suitcases is a great sense of humor and an enthusiasm to seize the day whatever its shape may be."
Life doles out loss and gain with a careless hand, doesn't it? When the going gets tough, the tough buy plane tickets. I'm heading for Vienna/the Danube/Instanbul in a couple of weeks, with a copy of Orhan Pamuk's Istanbul on my Kindle. What a travel companion!

You’re going to enjoy Pamuk’s book so much. And the real Istanbul as well…. Btw, there’s another book you should try not to miss. LOVED it. https://open.substack.com/pub/kalpanamohan/p/the-missed-opportunities-of-a-lifetime?r=4uv5u&utm_medium=ios
I'm going to have to live for a long time. So much to read!
