One such dawn, a young woman named Kavitha came to the pond. She was from the city, lost in more ways than one. Her hands trembled as she clutched an empty water pot—a ritual she had invented to give herself a reason to move.

And every day, without fail, the water in Kavitha’s pot was never empty.
“You are early,” Muthu said without turning.
They called it the Athikalai Kadai —The Dawn Shop.
