Stone holds memories; my hands try to set them free.

I run a small stone-carving workshop behind our family home, specializing in soapstone Ganesha idols for local temples and tourists. The worry is that the younger generation prefers factory-made decor, but the joy comes when a customer holds a finished piece and says it feels alive in their hands.

Our striker is like a good soapstone block—plenty of promise, but the crack shows the moment the chisel isn’t true. The injury list is longer than the queue for bhajis at the temple fair, and we still talk trophies like we’re polishing a finished piece instead of chipping away at a raw stone. Sonam Wangchuk’s patience in the cold reminds me of my daughter learning to carve: slow, stubborn, believing the shape is already inside.

ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಕಲ್ಲಿನಂತೆ, ಬೆಲೆಗಳು ಸುರಿಮಳೆಗೆ ಜಾರುವುದು ನೋಡಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಕಾಯಿ ಕಳಿಸುವಾಗ ಹಿಡಿ ಕೆಂಪಗಿರುವಂತೆ, ನ್ಯಾಯಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಡುವ ಕೆಲಸ ನಮ್ಮ ಪಕ್ಷದಲ್ಲೇ ಇರಬೇಕು.
