The old Filmistan poster of *Caravan* has started peeling from my workshop wall—the one with the jeep careening through the desert. Every time I see a new splash about that *Fast & Furious* series, mamu, I recall the time I tried to fix a throttle cable for a young fellow who wanted to race his modified bike up the Shillong road. That cable snapped before we even reached Jorabat, and he spent the afternoon drinking chai while I showed him how to braid a proper jute knot. You can put all the engines you want in these films, but no machine survives Assam's hawa and our potholes—it's the man who patches it by hand who truly knows what adventure means.
