Awesome piece. I loved the story and how every character had a real voice. I loved the intro. The humor and story telling us spot in. Thanks for all the pop culture references too. I guess whether cake wallah knows about the Lebron James Miami heat years. Already excited for your next great story. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great story. I just can't wait to cake you on your 27th now. Or being caked on my 100th.

Beautiful story, Ishaan. This really resonated with me at a time when I’m far away from my family. Little things like this may seem inconsequential, but this piece shows how much of an impact a little thing can make on someone. Thanks for sharing.

First off, Happy Birthday Ishaan. Wishing you the utmost of blessings and creativity in this next year of life.

As an avid fan of your work, there is something extremely resonant about how you capture one's yearning for connection, through these seemingly "mundane" or "overlooked" traditions, especially by those who exist within the characters orbit. I feel an overwhelming sense of melancholy when I read your stories, mainly due to the realities of these emotions we feel in our day to day lives, when the smallest things we care about most aren't always shared with appreciated by those we love. Thank you for writing this, and continue leaning into the pen.
