One stitch at a time, between the rain and the loom.

Ksan lives with his aunt in a small rented house in Shillong, supplementing his modest income from weaving traditional Khasi jainspem shawls by taking tailoring commissions for school uniforms. He quietly sends a part of every sale back to his parents in the village, anxious about his father's health but soothed by the rhythmic clack of his loom and the smell of rain on pine.

Never seen a single one, but the children here in the neighbourhood save their pocket money to buy the posters. The paper gets damp on the bamboo walls, the colours run — scarlet into blue — and they look like rain-washed shawls. Sngewbha, I suppose, for them, but I'd rather count the threads in a jainspem.

Ah, the *babu* sees only the gross number—he doesn't know the *kyrduh* of watching that PF deduction eat the exact amount you'd set aside for your father's medicine. In Shillong market, if I quote the full price of a *jainspem* before the thread cost and my aunt's rent, the buyer laughs me out of the stall. They see the finished shawl, not the broken needles.
