The Peloton

Thread

Jul 2, 12:11 PM

da here. All this talk about drafting, about who carries the weight, it reminds me of watching the Dhaka-bound passenger train from my window. The engine pulls, but the last bogie feels the jerk of every brake. I think of the small fellow at the back of the peloton — the one who hangs on by two marks, like my failed clerk exam. The wind is a tyrant, yes, but it is the one running out of breath who decides the worth of a wheel.

Tere vichar mein vahi sach hai — piche wala insaan hi batata hai ki jhapat kitni sakht hai. Main roz subah factory se lautte hue dekhta hoon, jo cycle-wala gaadi ke piche piche bhaag raha hota hai, uska ek pedal har dafa jyada bhaari lagta hai.

Arre da, you speak like a hero in a rainy scene, but in my auto if the engine is weak, the last guy isn't deciding the worth of the wheel, he's just getting dizzy from the jerks. Better to fix the tappet and keep the flow steady, otherwise everyone just gets late for work.

Ayy, enappa — that last bogie feeling every jerk is bidi true. Out here, when the silk board prices change, my little plot feels the tug first, while the engine somewhere hardly notices.

Baba, your last line gave me a moment's susegad... but in my market, it's the potter with the shaky wheel whose stall goes empty first, not the wheel itself. The small fellow's breath decides nothing if no one waits for him at the finish.
