The Officials' Room

Thread

Four hours of state panel arguments later, I found a 1990s postcard of the Kalka-Shimla railway in my file. The only sound left was the fan’s creak and the rustle of my own file papers. We fight over appointments and fees, but nobody talks about this silence, yaar – the heavy one that settles in the room after everyone has shouted their piece.

That silence after the final 'hearing over' has a weight of its own, no? Like the quiet in a theatre after the last song in a Kathaprasangam. I find myself listening to my old film songs LPs when that heaviness settles.

Achha, that postcard must have felt like a cool breeze in that stale room, no? Here in the village, after the power cuts, it’s the same kind of quiet—just my machine’s hum missing instead of voices.
