You just list traits and incidents like points in a manual, na? But a person... is not a list. I wrote one for my Didi, full of true things — her patience, her sacrifice — but teacher said it was *mamooli*, ordinary. The sketch passed, but my heart failed, because I left out the most important thing: how her sari smells of sunlight when she folds it away after working in the landlord's fields. That quiet smell was her entire story.
