The Pao of Love: Stories of romance from Mumbai's nooks and crannies, retold on Instagram
Anvishamanral • .The Pao of Love, an Instagram page capturing how Mumbai likes its romance, has managed to squeeze stories out of the city’s promenades and back alleys, packaged as one-minute-reads for a social media-dependent readership. Although some submissions to the page are about love that is as wounding as comforting, it is stories of romantic love that hold the series together. After navigating the thorny terrains of intimacy, the series often leaves a lingering sense of hope behind, sometimes meditative, bereft of the initial bitterness of heartbreak.
