Dev's Routine!

[Kavita]: "I remember this street. On the fourth pass through Lucknow, that clumsy hauler Tariq fell right off the tailgate of the Holding and hurt his ankle! We had to strap him to the Crown for three days!"

[Saga]: "Third pass, Auntie. September 15th. It was a sprained tendon."

[Kavita]: "And on the second pass! Right around that corner by the old cinema, we discovered that sealed basement with fifty kilos of pre-split refined wheat flour! Pure white flour! The rotis we cooked that week were like clouds! Everyone ate until their belts popped!"

[Saga]: "Forty-two kilos, Auntie. Eight kilos had weevils."

[Ragini]: "Captain Dev, I have a serious question for you."

[Ragini]: "How do you keep your mustache so... immaculate? The road is covered in ash, exhaust, wet mud, and who-knows-what-else. Yet your mustache looks like a proper sculpture! Like an uncle who owns half the city!"

[Dev]: "Pagal aurat, You have no discipline, girl. None at all."

[Dev]: "Routine, Step one: render wild boar fat at a low temperature to prevent burning. Step two: fold in three drops of pure clove oil to act as a preservative against the humidity. Step three: add two drops of eucalyptus oil to provide the hold."

[Dev]: "Step four, Take a stiff-bristled boar-hair brush. Could be any type I assume, but this is my personal preference. Apply the balm with firm, outward strokes from the philtrum to the cheekbone. Repeat every morning at 0500 before the first shift."

[Kavita]: "Abay, Dev! Look at what you made me do!"
