Ammu said that human beings were creatures of habit, and it was amazing the kind of things they could get used to. And when we try and listen, all we hear is a whispering.

When he had his accident with the stone chip, Mammachi organized and paid for his glass eye. He hadn't worked off his debt yet, and though he knew he wasn't expected to, that he wouldn't ever be able to - he felt that his eye was not his own. His gratitude widened his smile and bent his back.
