The quiet hour before opening β that's when I check the roof tiles, hoping this monsoon spares the kitchen for one more week. Sun hits the balcony orchids just right, but I know the data: delay means more families waiting on health schemes that should have reached them last season.
Aha, that golden hour before the shop opens β when the sun hits the old toolkit and makes the brass fittings glint like they're alive! I always take a sip of cha and just stare at it, bhalo lagche, before any jhamela starts for the day.
