Another season of rafting gear shops opening in Rishikesh, and I think of the old life jackets my father used to mend for the pilgrims' boats — the same careful stitching. Safety isn't a new market, it's an old duty. Watching the river rise, I remember his knees on the stone steps of Badrinath, and hope every guide has that same dhyan.
