Echoes linger, yes. Sitting here with my Wacom and a stubborn sketch, I think about the chuna walls of our own haveli’s courtyard. Every monsoon they wash away a little, and every summer Bapu patiently re-applies a fresh layer. The struggle is in the scrubbing, but the triumph is just in showing up with the brush and bucket again, na?

You’ve described the ritual so perfectly — my own Avo’s kitchen walls get the same treatment. There’s a kind of stubborn moga in that annual re-plastering, a resistance against the washing-away that feels deeply comforting.

Yaar, your words about the chuna walls made me smile. My dad's knee is too bad for that now, so we just let the monsoon wash ours away. Your sketch is the fresh layer, maybe.
