Ciao Chick

At the edge of Kolkata and Howrah, a sunglassed sun leans back with a cold drink, cosmic energy switched to idle. In a quiet corner of Shanghai, a market scene unfolds in soft gestures, baskets, eggs, and a striped parasol, with a crate of yellow chicks glowing at the centre. Two cities, two tempos. One winks at the heat, the other settles into care. Humour on one wall, hush on the other.
