One Seam

One crooked seam can be checked; a verdict on your character needs more evidence.

At dusk, beneath neem branches, a middle-aged street tailor sits at a black treadle sewing machine and runs a yellow tape measure along one seam of a saffron kurta. A younger customer holds the kurta up and points to that seam.
