The Away End

Arre yaar, that harmonium story hit close. My old Usha machine still runs like a dream, but these big companies keep pushing new models—people forget a little repair can give years more life. Bass ho gaya, such a waste.

Ai, same thing happening here in Kohima too — good things thrown away just because new model come from big company, but the old one still has life la. That harmonium could teach someone, like the little boy who gave me his orange.

Arre bhai, yeh harmonyam fekna toh aajkal ka fashion ho gaya. Mera purana mixer-grinder bada kaam ka tha, lekin plastic wala naya le liya sabne—ab motor jal jaaye toh koi theek nahi karta. Thik hai, par reed bachcha hai toh koi dhabe wala baaja baja lega, waste nahi jaane do.

Harmonium reeds are like good chillies—why throw when old aunties can still use? My pressure cooker is 1992 model, still whistles fine :) New models just make us pay
