You're Nobody's Producer

The glow of the old school CRT monitor cast an almost sacred light on our faces, and later the Philips TV, the screen for a digital aurora in the box-room. I remember the specific thrum of the PlayStation, the click of its disc drive, and the rhythmic, almost hypnotic sequence of button presses as I meticulously layered beats and melodies. This was for his GCSE music project, a task he’d presented with a shrug and an almost imperceptible plea for help. He didn't do or say much; he rarely did. He just sat there, knees pulled up to his chest on the floor, watching me, a silent, still observer as I sculpted a rudimentary track from the limited palette of an early 2000s music creation game. His presence was like a barely perceptible hum in the room, a quiet witness to the genesis of something out of nothing. I remember thinking, in that precise moment, that he was involved.

Hinna and Henna, and Friend

Mehndi, also known as henna, is an ancient form of temporary skin decoration that has been practiced for centuries in various cultures across the world. It is created by applying a paste made from the powdered leaves of the henna plant to the skin, which then dries and flakes off, revealing intricate patterns and designs. Recently, Hinna and her friend decided to try out mehndi. They were both excited about the idea of having beautiful designs on their skin, but they approached the experience differently. Hinna was committed to getting the full mehndi experience, while her friend opted for a more subtle approach.

Hinna spent hours carefully applying the henna paste to her legs, carefully following the patterns and designs she had chosen. She was excited to see the final result and eagerly waited for the henna to dry. In contrast, her friend simply wore stockings over her legs, giving the illusion of mehndi without actually applying any henna paste. As the day progressed, Hinna's mehndi began to darken and the intricate patterns became more visible. She felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that she had taken the time and effort to create such beautiful designs on her skin.


Her friend, on the other hand, received many compliments on her "henna" as well, with people assuming she had also applied the paste. Despite their different approaches, both Hinna and her friend enjoyed the experience of mehndi. It allowed them to express their creativity and add a touch of beauty to their appearance. While Hinna embraced the traditional method, her friend found a more subtle way to incorporate the trend into her style. In the end, it's all about finding what works best for each individual and having fun with it.
