The victory tasted of cumin and chipped enamel: small and very satisfying. The chawl celebrated with samosas shared on the landing, children shrieking, an old man reciting a line of a poem he half-remembered. Sarla watched from the doorway, letting the warmth gather in her. She accepted a fried piece of batata with no ceremony, giving and receiving equally.

Sarla’s first thought was practical: no time, no interest in being watched. Her second thought was a small, fierce curiosity. What would it mean to be the center for once? The chawl had always been a constellation of small stars; she was used to arranging them, not stepping into the light.
