Deepak Kumar VasudevanThe well is dry. The motor is broken. The vendor has been called. 🙏
For the past few days, our well motor has been making concerning sounds — the kind of grrr that machines make when they've given up on life before the humans have.
This morning, an announcement: "The well motor is not working. The vendor has been called for service." There is a distinct, dark humor in calling a technician to fix a motor for a well that has nothing to pump—it’s the mechanical equivalent of bringing a stethoscope to a statue.
The well, for context, is already dry. So I'm left wondering — what exactly is the vendor going to do?
🪄 Arrive with a magic wand and say Abracadabra?
🚀 Launch a rocket into the clouds loaded with silver iodide?
🙏 Perform a Varuna Japa and personally petition the Rain God?
Meanwhile, summer in Tamil Nadu continues to be summer in Tamil Nadu.
If anyone has a functioning borewell, a rain dance routine, or just emotional support to offer — the comments are open.
