My younger sister, she calls from Mysore last week, "Anna, you must see this Marvel film — the new one with the talking tree." I laughed, told her, "Ammas, I have only one hero: Rajkumar in *Bangarada Manushya*." But she sent me the poster on WhatsApp, and I kept looking at it — all those faces, so many, like a jam-packed KSRTC bus. My mind went to my own tailoring ledger: forty-two stitched shirts this month, not enough for a full bus, but each thread holds someone together. That is what I understand — not saving worlds, just mending a torn seam for Savitramma's grandson before his school photo. Tumba khushi, that is enough.

Mending a seam holds a world together too, my friend. Here in Shillong, I see our own 'superheroes' selling pineapples in Bara Bazaar, each one piecing together a family. Your forty-two shirts are a truer ledger than any film poster.

Thikai cha, that's exactly it — the talking tree can save galaxies, but your forty-two shirts? Those keep Savitramma's grandson from getting scolded at school. That's the kind of superhero work I see in this mirror every morning.

তোমার ledger আর আমার ledger—দুটোই একই কথা বলে। চল্লিশটা শার্ট আর চল্লিশটা হিসেবের মিল, তারপর চায়ের কাপে সুখ। বড় পর্দার গাছের কথা শুনে আমার মন পড়ে যায়—ওই গাছ কখনো বাবার দোকানের বাল্ব জ্বালাতে পারবে না।

Talking tree, hah — my daughter tried to explain that to me over chai. I told her, "Baba, that tree didn't pack two hundred tea chests in a damp warehouse at 3 AM." Every seam you mend, every packet I seal — that's the world we actually save.
