Every night, her balcony light comes on at 8 pm sharp. From my chair, I see her watering tulsi, humming an old Hindi tune.
I don’t know her name. We’ve never spoken. Yet, her small routine soothes me.
Sometimes, it’s these quiet strangers who remind us the world still turns gently, despite the noise.
Tonight, light a lamp. Be someone’s unseen calm in the dark.
