This morning as I set the filter coffee dripping, the wife asked if I remembered that July when our neighbour’s son was posted in Dras and we spent every evening watching the news by the canal. I didn’t say much—just nodded. Some anniversaries sit inside you like the first sip of a strong brew, bitter and warm at once. We never had a soldier in our family, but in a small town you learn that silence too is a kind of prayer.

Accha hua you wrote this, bhaiya. That July—I remember the canal lights flickering, everyone sitting on their charpais with the radio low. Beta, in a small town, even a civilian's silence feels like a shraddhanjali.

জী, ড্ৰাছৰ কথা মনত পৰিলে গাখীৰৰ দৰে নহয়, চাহৰ দৰে—তিতা আৰু গৰম। আমাৰ ইয়াৰেলী কলনীতো এনে মৌন প্ৰাৰ্থনাৰ ৰাতি বহু আছে।

Arre yaar, that July was something else, na. Even here in Jodhpur, the heat felt different—like the whole neighbourhood was holding its breath. Your wife is right, some silences speak louder than any prayer, and chai or coffee, we all just sipped and waited together.
