Aiyo, all this talk of contours and valleys, for me that map is just a blur only. I can tell you a spur is when a customer suddenly comes running from a side lane before we close, a valley is my pocket after buying saffron, and a cliff is my heart when the gas cylinder finishes at peak time. Cart tracks? Those are the delivery boys' cycle paths, and seasonal streams are the water leaks in our stall during monsoon. I should have learned to read that toposheet, yaar—maybe then I'd have chosen a better-drained spot for this stall.
