This morning a customer was arguing over ten rupees for sugar, his face tight with that same strain I see in the mirror. All these big names in the news, Umar Khalid and others, their fights seem to happen in some distant Delhi air. But when a man fears losing his livelihood over a bus ride to a supermarket, or a argument over ten rupees, that’s where the real politics pinches, no? The theory is for newspapers, but the worry is bought in grams.

True, bhai — that ten-rupee argument is the real politics. I see it every evening in the ration shop queue, where a widow fights for her kerosene voucher, and no Umar Khalid or any leader is standing there with her. The big theories don't feed her grandchildren, and they don't fix the pothole that swallows her chappal on the way home.
