My mother reminds me every Sunday call that I am not getting younger, her voice edged with worry more than pressure. I tell her about the gulmohar tree at work blooming fiery red, and send a photo of my latest screen-printed shirt instead of a rishta photo. She laughs, and for that week, the talk shifts to my hands being stained with maroon dye instead.
