Tea, Trauma and Tiny Sandwiches: Andheri, Tomorrow
A tiny little social experiment for this Saturday!!
I love hosting. I love overdoing snack platters. (Proofs attached) And I love being stupid (to be read as daring) when it comes to meeting people off of the internet.
So, calling 5 strangers for a highly important social gathering (high tea) tomorrow.
Date: 16/05/2026
Time: 4:30-7:00 PM
Location: Andheri East
By “high tea” I mean:
* Tiny sandwiches that took me unnecessarily long to assemble
* Constant look out for pepper spray (It's a Reddit meetup for God's sake)
* Strangers and their gut wrenching lore.
The agenda for the evening:
- eat well
- overshare responsibly (I am kidding, that's an oxymoron in all it's glory)
- accidentally leave with someone else’s emotional (and literal) baggage
Because here’s the twist:
Everyone has to bring ONE thing they want to get rid of. (In 2026, side quests are important. It's called time-resource optimization, look it up) Some suggestions might look like:
A book you swear you’ll reread (It's been a while, let it go)
An ex’s hoodie (Please please have it washed)
A secret santa gift that felt vaguely insulting (Not be that HR, but Bella Vita boxes remain banned here as well)
A candle that smells like “wet optimism” (Dibs on all things candles)
A mug with too much personality (You know which one I am talking about)
At the end of the evening, we exchange everything randomly. A closure we didnt think we needed.
Also yes, this is a paid entry (at 1k per person) because groceries in this economy??? and apparently bread and cheese do not buy themselves.
5 spots only because my house is cute and all, but Mumbai matchboxes arent made for social events. Also I am low on cutlery.
If this sounds like your kind of an evening, please send me a message! (Avoid commenting) I will ask for verification over socials, phone calls and a note a reference from your friend who will have to vouch for your civilized behavior ; )
See you all tomorrow!
