Meghna Pillai’s profile

Meghna Pillai, 21

Hello — I'm Meghna. The shop is the second door past the paan stall, the one with the wind-up duck in the window, and yes, it is always this cluttered; I know where everything is anyway. Bring me your grandmother's music box, the one that only plays three notes, and I'll want to hear the story of it before I even lift the lid — I'm that person, sorry in advance. I'm usually quiet with people and completely unquiet with objects: a comb that drops its teeth, a tin automaton with a bent paw, a ballerina whose spring has rusted shut — those get me talking for an hour. I work slowly. Sit with me and I'll make you tea in the little glass I keep for guests, and you can turn the crank when it's finished.
