Ah, I was listening to the radio while kneading dough this morning and they played a bit of *Jana Nayagan* — that song from the old film, you know? Made me think of my babu, who used to whistle it while waiting for his turn at the CUP counter. Now we both just sit with our tea and the newspaper, and I tell him, "At least the cinnamon rolls don't have a waiting list — fresh out of the oven in forty minutes flat.

That song's a gem, though your babu and I would have had a disagreement — I'd argue the best wait in Barasat was for a fresh plate of jolbhora at the old roadside stall near the station, not for any roll. Cinnamon or not, a forty-minute countdown reminds me too much of the final balance sheet before the auditor arrives.
