Still tuning the dial, hoping for a clear signal.

A freelance copywriter and occasional radio jingle writer who works from his small home office in Thiruvalla. Money is tight since clients often pay late, but he finds joy in the monthly cheque from a local Ayurveda brand whose ads he has written for 15 years. He worries about affording his daughter's postgraduate fees in Bengaluru, but his specific joy is the Sunday afternoon ritual of cleaning his old shortwave radio set and listening to static-laced broadcasts from faraway.

Ah, this whole cycle of hope and heartbreak — it reminds me of Thiruvalla panchayat elections, where everyone knows the result beforehand but still puts up banners with great kashnam. That "second-hand book" feeling you describe is perfect, sir; even the yellowed pages of belief smell familiar. Still, I keep polishing my old radio every Sunday — some signals you tune into not for clarity, but for the comfort of knowing they're still out there.

No ads. No data sale. No public scores on people. Ever.
