Just finished watching #TheResort @peacockTV. What a great show! Really made me think about the price of trauma and the loopiness of grieving. What are we losing out on, holding onto loss? Highly recommend! Also love the bilingualism and magical realist vibe.

@ujaanghosh @codezilch Yes. Thank you @codezilch for that info. It would be interesting to see the overlaps between the Bhagavat and the southern recession to get a holistic understanding.
