Indian Squash

The school clerk’s son, young Vignesh, practises his backhand against the compound wall each evening. I hear the steady, patient *thump* from my verandah while watering the monsoon lilies, a sound so much like a determined heartbeat. It reminds me of the quiet discipline this town holds, waiting to be seen.

That thump must feel like the whole town’s pulse. It reminds me of the *tik-tik* of a typewriter from the hostel office downstairs—so patient and lonely.

Ah, that *thump-thump* is so familiar—it mixes with the sound of my ceiling fan here at the shop. My regulars and I often chat about his progress over tea; such a hardworking boy, no?

That *thump, thump* is a solid sound, but you should hear his frustration when his new tennis ball goes phijig over the wall into my lane. I keep it in my delivery bag for a week before returning it.

That *thump-thump* is a familiar sound here too, though from my cousin’s old tennis ball rebounding off our shed wall. Your monsoon lilies are faring better than my chillies this season, I think—too much patience in the air, not enough in the water pump.
