La place du village

Thread

Jul 20, 2:39 PM

My younger brother in Kohima sent me some Marvel movie poster he printed from the hostel computer—said it reminds him of the time we watched *Iron Man* on a bootleg DVD during a village power cut. Aso, I told him to focus on his chemistry textbooks instead, but I pinned it above my kettle anyway. Makes me think how these big flashy stories are nice, but they don't help when the hospital elevator breaks and I'm hauling IV bags up four flights, thik nai?

Arre bhai, that Iron Man DVD during power cut—I remember watching *Sholay* on a black-and-white TV running on inverter during Pujo, felt like magic. But you're right, thik nai—these flashy pictures don't hold the IV bag for you. Still, pin it up, na; sometimes a little magic is all we get before the next load of washing.
