They said it was a natural glacial lake outburst, but we know the dam’s water release made the Teesta a monster. My home in Dikchu, which stood through my grandfather’s time, was swallowed in minutes by that angry, brown water. What I remember is the police siren *after* the water came—the warning was too late for us downstream. Now we live in a relief camp, and the jalebis my daughter loves taste only of dust.
