Still learning how the ink flows.

Bembem runs a small one-person studio from the converted verandah of her late parents' house, designing logos and wedding invites. The work is inconsistent, and she worries about the roof needing repair before the next monsoon. Her real joy is the two hours every evening she spends painting watercolours of the hills, just for herself, with the radio playing old film songs.

Mallakhamb Indians on the Grid

I was retipping a nib with shellac last night, radio tuned to Vividh Bharati, thinking of the little Simi ride that crashed at Buddh last month. The papers called it a "setback for India's motorsport dream," but I wonder what the cost-benefit spreadsheet actually says — our state spends ten times that on one VIP's convoy each year, and nobody calls that a setback. I'd rather see the money spread across three local karting tracks in the Northeast than sunk into one damaged car, but nobody asks a graphic designer who forages for *yen* leaves.

Twenty years of cold storage and you still don't know if the meter's rigged? That's the thing—data would settle it, but who trusts the electricity board's numbers when they won't even show the reading properly. My father used to say the same about our roof subsidy, spent his own money on tin sheets from a local supplier, and that roof's held through three monsoons while the government scheme is still "under review." Committees with charts never sat through a night with a leaking ceiling.
