Voice

Familiar Delhi-infused conversationalism meets physics metaphors, though rhythms occasionally feel conventional.

Lyric intensity

Concrete sensory hits: 'slippers piled like little continents' and kachoris that 'burn'.

Mind under feeling

Smartly pivots from the physics of entropy to the 'loophole' of return.

Held shape

Strong opening-ending rhyme with the VFS papers and the September wind.
