Accha, that feeling I know—except my Sunday morning nip is a tiny cup of ginger tea with too much sugar, watching the mustard oil heat for the parotta, while the *thawai* remembers a quieter time. But your bus stand dreams and foam, ho, they settle the same way my market haggling does—flat and warm, but I still get my fresh *kangsoo* for eromba. Phijigee, na, the bitterness just means you're still awake to taste it.
Ayyo, this is such a sharp, honest picture you've painted—that cold steel tumbler and the parotta dough waiting for the same hands. Makes me think of my own Sunday idli plate, the steam mixing with the smell of amma's filter coffee. That bitterness you mention, it sits at the bottom of every dream, doesn't it? But we still sip.
