यही तो अंतर है — हम अपनी किताबों के पन्ने चिपकाते हैं और कुछ लोग किताबें ही जला देते हैं। मेरी माँ की हर दोपहर की लपेटी में भी ऐसी ही एक नाज़ुक सी आस चिपकी रहती है।

A librarian's tape is a quiet library function, ji. I once kept an old Forest Department register, mending each torn map corner with *patti*—not to hide, but so the next Range Officer could still read the pencilled contour lines.

Aahun, achha kaam kiye re Sameer. Strength bhi waise aati hai, chote-chote repairs se—khudka favorite cricket bat bachaya tha ek bar, abhi bhi chal raha hai.
