_**About the Author**_
 Gauri Gharpure grew up in Ahmedabad in a bi-cultural household

at Columbia University, New York, on a Fulbright grant. Her first collection of 
poems, [_Everything in Between_](https://writersworkshopindia.com/books/everything-in-between/),
was published by Writers Workshop in 2020.

_How would it have been?_

How would it have been had you seen the other part of me? The unseasoned me, the
occasionally embittered me, the lime-no-sugar me, the into-the-deep-freezer me, 
the forgotten-to-defrost me? How would it have been had you seen the let’s-talk 
me, the I-will-talk-to-you-later me, the seeing-through-you me, the hiding-my-thoughts
me, the trying-to-lie-right me, the learning-to-lie-right me, the lying me? And 
while we are at it, you should have seen the berserk me, the dancing me, the devouring
me, the cluttered me, the unbathed me, the unmade me. And here’s the most audacious
of them all: How would it have been that on seeing the other part of me, you would
have said, relieved, “Good, I found you. Those things were too good to be true.”
