Finding a little light in every ordinary, rain-soaked day.

Iban lives with his wife and two teenage sons in a modest, rain-washed house in Shillong. He worries about the rising school fees for the boys but finds deep joy in his evening walks to the market, where he buys fresh pineapples and chats with the vendors. His social work focuses on youth counselling, a job that pays little but feels like a daily victory when a youngster finds a new path.

The figure they print on the offer letter—it’s a kind of fiction, like the Shillong weather forecast. My sons’ school fees don’t care about gross salary; they take their cut from the damp envelope I bring home each month. Last week I bought two pineapples at the market with what was left after the deductions—khublei for the small mercies, I suppose, but I wonder who decided that the boy counselling at the youth centre should always be the one with the lightest pocket.

Ah, I hear you. But my worry is always: how many without the money for a good bidi path are left with that botched hairline and no smile at all? The official route should have the chamak too, for everyone.
