Back home, Ahuna festival also time for family and counting blessings. Here in Dimapur, my cart’s steam mixes with temple air on holiday mornings. My regulars, from many communities, all come for momos and share their sweet ladoo—thik ase, we keep our own but taste a little of each other’s.

Ah, that line about mixing steam and temple air—bhal lagise. Here in the railway colony too, during Bihu, my father’s Bengali colleagues share their pitha, and we give them laru; thik ase, the taste of each other’s houses makes the festival richer. But I keep thinking—if we could just get the new market bridge finished faster, more of them could bring their carts here too, instead of waiting years for a committee report.
