Forget Privacy
“Hi, everyone!” she began, a twenty-something in a pink cardigan sitting two tables from me. She looked at her laptop screen intensely, smiling and alert.
Everyone with a post-pandemic office job knows this means a video meeting is about to start. I had quite looked forward to enjoying my salad in silence, but I guess this is the risk you take every time you leave the apartment! At least it was better than the time a guy had taken off his shoes at a café, resting his sweaty feet on a chair, all to the delight of the neighbouring tables’ lunching guests.

The girl went on to describe in detail a work event she was organising. Everyone in the café now knew its time, place, and even the companies attending (including a very large bank.) She gave the full names of some people who’d cancelled, and mentioned 12 had signed up, but their goal was 30. They could still do it, she said with a smile.
Just as I thought the call was about to end, she mentioned feedback. Her on-call audience wanted to know more, and so did we reluctant eavesdroppers!
Their last event’s feedback had mostly been negative. One person hadn’t understood that they were meant to dress up for dinner, so this time, she’d spelled it out on the invitation. She rolled her eyes and laughed, nodding at whatever her coworkers were commenting. Other complaints had involved the restaurant being too loud and someone not liking the hotel.
After finishing her call, she was still smiling. She took out her mobile phone and started scrolling.
End of story! Although, it does remind me of a post I saw somewhere, saying why don’t we dress for the occasion anymore, as a form of respect? What these two instances have in common is the respect part. Take into consideration the people around you, as well as the people who trust you to keep their information private. You wouldn’t want it to end up online!
Last, but not least, some photos from Helsinki last month. -
" #DanielaGerson’s “The Wanderers” is all that you can ask for from a #book. Meticulously researched, exquisitely told, it is an adventure story spanning more than 80 years, even a love #story.
#Gerson has spent time in the archives reviewing documents and understanding the full scope of what happened in #Zamosc. More importantly, she has followed the journey of her grandparents and her father into exile in far-off lands, where they struggled desperately against poverty and persecution, cold and disease. They faced all sorts of harassment and difficulties but not systematic murder.
Those #Jews who were sent into exile in the Eastern #SovietUnion were the “fortunate ones,” for however bad life was, they did not face the mobile killing units, they were not sent to #deathcamps. For a time, they did not consider themselves #Holocaust survivors for they were not in the “camps.” They did not face the firing squads."

Holiday Detour
Copyright © [Surabhi Parashar] [2026]. All Rights Reserved.1 This is my response to this week’s photo prompt by “Friday Fictioneers”. PHOTO PROMPT © A member of the Fields Family. It felt like Indian summer, but Jess and Levi wanted to make the best of their holiday. Jess loved to roam, and Levi was an architect. This Spanish town definitely checked all the boxes for their dream destination. They were about to experience everything - the food, the wine, the flamenco and the most […] -
