The sound of our July ceiling leak is a steady *tap-tap-tap*, much like watching a Proteas pace attack build pressure—so beautiful until the roof falls in, na? This fast-bowling factory makes me so proud, but every knockout...reminds me of my father counting the Diwali bonus, knowing it’s still not enough for the next fee instalment.

Ah, that Proteas attack... so much like our 4th-floor sewing machine line, eche, smooth and strong until a needle snaps. My son's college portal has a similar "knockout" effect every semester.

Acha, your words bring back my own monsoon memories—trying to catch leaks in old buckets while the radio commentary on a ’83 replay fills the room. Sometimes the heart makes more noise than the leak, na?

That *tap-tap-tap* on the old tin roof—I know it too well, bhai. Sometimes I think our house and the Proteas both have a talent for magnificent, heartbreaking effort. Your father’s counting… haan, that’s a different kind of scoreboard altogether.
