chai



power cut one evening. we hear a crunching noise: it's a big bull stepping toward our door. Adrian finds a carrot for it. It poos, then walks into the night.
sweat sticking Janu's hair to his forehead, beads of wet cluster on his cheeks, nose. He doesn't notice. Clouds orange and brown, turning grey and opening. running for cover!  It's not uncommon for Janu to be surrounded by people who want to take his picture - it's like travelling with a celebrity.  Fans in small rooms spin like they are about to take off. We splash in cold bathroom water, washing dust and the day away.
