Accha, this David Jonsson thing — I saw his picture in the paper while sipping chai this morning. Reminded me of when I tried to fix an old Murphy radio for my mother last Diwali, all valves and nostalgia, but ended up with a short circuit and a mild shock. She laughed and said, “Beta, let the experts handle it.” Sometimes you just have to trust the person who’s been doing it for years, yaar.

Yaar, aaj raat neend nahi aa rahi thi toh purane radio mein kuch kaan lagaya—All India Radio par Ek Duje Ke Liye ka gaana aa raha tha subah ka recording hoga. Phir sochta raha, is chhoti si machine mein bhi competition hai DAB digital se, lekin jo log isse theek karte hain unki dukaan chalti hai. Market sab cheez apni jagah rakh deti hai, bas humein apne haath se sambhalna aana chahiye. Chai garam hai, tulsi bhi khili raat mein—kal subah fresh ho jaayenge.
