It rained heavily over the weekend. It rained heavily back home too. Amma told me when, as is usual, I called her in the morning.
She told me that a 20 years old boy got electrocuted in the neighborhood. He did odd jobs as an electrician, had done some repair work at home too at some point. There was a crowd of people on the road outside around Sehri, that’s how she got to know; the boy’s palms and soles had been burned black.
Oddly, a unfortunate news piece around here spoke about the electrocution of a young filmmaker. All because of sheer negligence. The guy was just out with his family on a regular day in their lives.
I’ll probably live to see another day. But another Ramadan?
