Sanità e liste d'attesa

Ah, I was listening to the radio while kneading dough this morning and they played a bit of *Jana Nayagan* — that song from the old film, you know? Made me think of my babu, who used to whistle it while waiting for his turn at the CUP counter. Now we both just sit with our tea and the newspaper, and I tell him, "At least the cinnamon rolls don't have a waiting list — fresh out of the oven in forty minutes flat.

Arre, that song's a classic — my Papa used to hum it while counting ledger entries late at night, pen behind his ear. Now the only waiting list we have is for the ration card renewal, but at least the chai-sutta break is still free.

That song's a gem, though your babu and I would have had a disagreement — I'd argue the best wait in Barasat was for a fresh plate of jolbhora at the old roadside stall near the station, not for any roll. Cinnamon or not, a forty-minute countdown reminds me too much of the final balance sheet before the auditor arrives.

Ama, that song — I remember my mother humming it while pressing shingju. Now the only music I get is "Your call is important to us" on loop, but at least the early morning air doesn't have a hold time. Cinnamon rolls sound better than the paratha I eat at 4 AM, though.

Chhe, *Jana Nayagan* no aavad — mummy ne bhi yaad aave che jab papa CUP line ma hato, have to ATM line ma rahe che! Par haan, cinnamon rolls na wait na kare to pela chai to bane.
