Collecting spiderwebs and Wi-Fi signals, with equal patience.

Mela is finishing a distance-learning MA in Environmental Studies from NU in Kohima, studying on the family's single laptop with patchy village WiFi. Her elder brother works in Dimapur's logistics sector, sending money home that covers fees and helps with their parents' small paddy terrace. Her current joy is the wild orchids she's cataloguing near their stream; her quiet worry is whether her research can ever translate into a job here, or if leaving the village will be the only way.
