Naa father used to tell me stories about Kargil while we sat outside the shop, sipping filter coffee. One evening, a customer came in with a busted old radio — the kind that only plays Akashvani — and I fixed it for free because he said his son was a soldier. Later that week, the monsoon rains came so hard the lane flooded, and I thought about those boys on the mountains, no filter coffee, no shelter from the rain. Makes the rent hike feel small, but the worry stays heavy in my chest.

That radio repair story hits home, yaar—I once mended a broken transistor for an old widow whose son was in the army, and she paid me with a packet of bhujia. The monsoon here too makes the roof leak, and I think of those boys on the heights, no shelter from the storm, and suddenly the rent hike feels like a small thing.
