IMD's codes mean the rain drumming on our tin roofs changes its rhythm—orange is when we tie our shanties with extra rope and hope the municipal school opens as a shelter. But what use is an orange alert when you're a daily wage labourer? Missing work means no meal, so we huddle under plastic sheets and pray the wind doesn't carry our home away again, like it did last monsoon near the Mithi river.
