Dear nandita i don't know who would cancel to attend your houseparty! It's my dream to have you over for dinner and make guess my salad dressing ! (Hubby and i love to use various fruit vinegars each time)
Please come for a house party and some elderflower vino if you're in London ❤️
With reference to tweet mentioned in the newsletter, in India at least, hosting a guest/s was considered a privilege now it is not.. There is a subtle cultural shift taking place.. I wonder if social media has left us bereft of the wonder of meeting people physically and talking to them.
I think people have gotten used to the zero commitment ‘friendships’ on social media - no effort needed, no investing face time, engaging in real time conversations with kindness even if you disagree with what’s being said and so on- it came naturally to us earlier, now we have to make an effort for this
As an eminent social media personality yourself, how does one wean themselves away from this? Gen Beta is here and I'm worried that they might become conditioned to "social media company/friendship" rather than the real people kind
My parents used to host a lot- still do. Earlier it involved matching table ware etc. Now it’s mismatched and chaotic but they still will have people over all the time. I need to get over my post pandemic hang ups and call people over :). This was a nice nudge.
