For the longest time, Mona took to social media only on special occasions: Friday outings, weekend cooking, and destination weddings. Then one night everything changed. Unable to sleep, Mona started checking out her Insta page and chanced upon a follow suggestion: Life_Is_Good. The Instagram handle didn’t ring a bell but the name underneath it did. Anamika ‘Goddess’ Singh used to be her friend in Masters. She used to be a plain Jane, a pushover, a girl who tried so hard to make friends that she hardly had any friends, just people who let her hang out with them out of pity. Mona used to tell her all the time that she, Anamika, needed to take it easy but her words were like water off a duck’s back. As soon as college life ended, so did any connection with Anamika. Checking the time on her phone, Mona realized she hadn’t even thought about Anamika in years. It was 1 am and she was more curious about Anamikathe Goddess than sleepy. So she visited her page and immediately wished she hadn’t.
