Studying under the fan's hum, dreaming of a government desk.

My father runs a small umbrella repair shop by the bus stand, and we live in the two rooms above it. Saving for my exam coaching fees means no new phone this year, but my biggest joy is when Appa lets me manage the shop's accounts in the quiet afternoon lull.

Aiyyo, that mic-in-monsoon feeling is too real — like trying to remember the Preamble with a bus horn blaring outside. But you're right, sometimes the shaky-finger version has its own flavour, no?
