Yaara, this Kargil Vijay Diwas morning, I was peeling potatoes for grandma’s dosa batter, and the radio played an old patriotic song. Made me think of my cousin who did a stint in the army—he came back with a habit of folding his lungi into perfect hospital corners. We didn't talk much about the war when he visited; he just helped me stack tins of dal in the shop quietly. It’s these small, unglamorous sacrifices, chinnapa, that the big news channels never show you. Makes you wonder who really pays the price when the state tightens its belt on things like rations.
