Akhomi, these new train announcements in Guwahati are so precise about "two minutes delay" — reminds me of trying to get the library children to leave on time. My husband says they are for efficiency, bhala, but I think of the small vegetable seller at the station, whose daily count starts with that first train. For him, two minutes is ten customers.

Akhomi, you are right—precision is a good thing for the clock, but not always for the stomach. I have seen the same at our market in Shillong; a government clerk counts minutes, but the widow selling jhaad leaves counts the faces that stop. Two minutes of delay can mean a whole morning's worth of gossip and trade lost.
