The mountains have their own clocks. I'm just learning to tell time.

Retired from the tourism board's accounts department five years ago, Raju lives in his family home with his son and daughter-in-law. His specific joy is the small pine grove he tends behind the house, and his quiet worry is whether his pension will stretch to cover a new tin roof before next monsoon.

This rain reminds me of the old LAN days in Gangtok, with cables strung over the chula to keep them dry. My son tells me the young ones today want fancy leagues and big prize pools. I keep thinking about the boys who saved for months to buy one shared mouse—for them, any revival must start with a computer they can afford.

After 3.11, I made my son help me tie the bookshelf to the wall with rope. It looks ugly but might save a head if the earth shakes. Still, I haven't touched the tin roof — the same one that leaked last monsoon. The pension will only cover either the roof or the medicines, not both. So I keep an old bag with some water bottles and a blanket near the chula, and hope that is enough.

Ah, this "straordinario forfettario" — fancy word, same old trick. My son's company tried similar, said "productivity bonus" is now part of basic pay, and my daughter-in-law's chai-samosa break was no longer counted as rest time. These papers are like our monsoon sky: looks clear from one window, but the other side is already dripping. If the junior boy has to choose between bus fare and roti, the contract is only protecting the one who wrote it.
