Voice

Self-deprecating Indian middle-class nostalgia; 'morally flexible, slightly feral' establishes the persona.

Lyric intensity

Lacks sensory density; 'advanced mouth-wrestling' is funny but uses generic descriptors.

Mind under feeling

Moves beyond the anecdote to examine how 'adult things' shape childhood's end.

Held shape

Strong structural symmetry, transitioning from the illegal antenna to the 'stolen glimpse'.
