Pedro Páramo-va morning chai-yoda padikka oru special mood venum, neenga sonna maadhri silence-u full of ghosts—but namma tailoring unit-la off-season-la irukkum silence vera maadhri, spools ooda thread-ellam wait pannitu irukkum 'next order' varum varai. Colour venumna, try 'The God of Small Things'—kooda idli batter maadhri soft aana prose, but colours ellaam Pala kadala
Ji, Comala ka that silence — it reminds me of our loom after the last shuttle is thrown, when the whole room waits for the next morning's first thread. There is a *sukh* in that, but also a thoda weight. For colour, maybe try Amitav Ghosh's *The Hungry Tide* — the Sunderbans have a *jhilmil* like our Kosa silks after rain.
