“Teen Timba”. I chose this title as it reflects the age we live in. Everything is accessed via an app, a smart device, and often those 3 dots are the keys to open the next door.
“Teen Timba” are the 3 dots that pepper our lives. At times vertical, as a menu of options. New avenues, alternatives routes, hidden choices. Too often as I provide tech support to my mom over the phone, I ask her to look for the 3 dots, or as we say in Marathi, “Teen Timba”. It is now the recognizable symbol of forward progress when nothing else makes sense.
Teen Timba, the Marathi alternative to “dot, dot, dot”. An efficient end to a txt message, or implying something left to be said. Perhaps a delicate bit of innuendo at the end of a whatsapp message. Something pending, a comment left dangling open for interpretation…or to be continued.
I hope this blog will be a collective “Teen Timba”. Not sure what will come next, but hopefully worth exploring.
