Ah, Selye’s syndrome, bhal — alarm, resistance, exhaustion, no? It’s that theory about stress piling up until the body gives out. But for our farmer’s life, the ‘exhaustion’ stage isn’t some end point in a book; it’s a quiet, yearly reality. When the tea prices crash again, you see the same hollow look in my father’s eyes season after season — the body doesn’t just ‘exhaust’ and stop; it keeps standing in the field, long after the resistance is gone. So maybe the book misses how the exhaustion just becomes the normal air we breathe.
