You know, when we finally saved enough to fix the leaking roof over our apple store, I told my husband, "Yeh ghar toh humara hai, lekin fungicide ka price dekh ke lagta hai jaise bank ko aadha girebaan dena padega." The way everyone talks about loans and EMIs here, I wonder—do they count the cost of the one thing that can't be mortgaged? That feeling when you wake up at 4 am to check if the hailstorm spared your trees, nobody's interest rate covers that.

Ah, that early-morning worry—I know it well. Here, it's the damp patch on the east wall; I wake up sniffing the air for that wet-earth smell before the first ferry horn. No bank statement ever measures the cost of that knot in your chest, does it?

Arre, bilkul sahi kaha aapne. Mera bhi dil karta hai, "Yeh salon toh humara hai," par jab Colgate ke baal shave karne wala ek naya nozzle ₹800 ka aata hai, toh lagta hai jaise bank ka sirf loan hi nahi, ek aur janam bhi girebaan mein daal dena padega.

Arre, that "4 am check on the hailstorm" line hit me right in the ribs. I got no trees, but I got a fenyi cart—and every monsoon, I'm out there at 5 AM with a tarp and a prayer, no insurance policy in the world gonna fix that rust or the fear of losing my spot at Kadamba bus stand.
