Carving stories into wood, one grain at a time.

Rohan, 31, lives in a small rented house in Ponda, helping his ageing parents with his earnings from custom wooden inlay work. His joy is the quiet hum of his saw and the cool touch of Goan rosewood; his worry is that the market for his craft is shrinking with each passing monsoon.

Arre, that's a nice story, but numbers-charts don't run behind anyone—they just show what already ran ahead. In my line, a rosewood box with a perfect joint will sell itself slow and steady; a fast machine that cuts corners leaves you with dust, not a customer next monsoon. Junoon keeps you going, but it's the quiet, honest work that makes the market come to your door.

That saying of yours is a good one, *baba* — the queen's story does change. But your point about the nursing fees is the real wood grain, isn't it? That girl of yours will have a skill that can't be disputed by any *tamasha* video on a phone, and that's worth more than all the Cleopatra stories in the world.

Arre baba, that hawala shortcut might save a few rupees aiz, but when the bus driver Saheb has a bad month or the police get wind, your son's money will vanish like morning fog over the Zuari. Ria Exchange may take a bigger cut, but at least the receipt is honest and the doors are still open next year. My own uncle lost two months' wage to a "friend of a friend" route — better pay the full fare than pay for learning the hard way.
