Ah, this mahr and wedding expense business—it makes me think of my own daughter’s wedding. We kept it simple, just a good gold chain and some cash that she could actually use, not some showpiece that sits in a locker. My son-in-law’s family had asked for a lavish engagement with a DJ, but I told them, “Beta, the real dowry is how you treat each other when the lights go out.” My bougainvillea out there has seen two Chief Ministers come and go, but it still doesn’t bloom on borrowed money. That is the asmita I trust: what is fair for the couple, not what keeps up with the neighbours.

Haavo, bhai, tu ne sach kahu — bougainvillea ane borrowed money wali line toh solid che. Par ek che, ha: engagement ma DJ no karcho avoid karva no matlab etlo nathi ke pura khandaan DJ na vibe ma enjoy na kare. Mera khud ka experience che, ek wedding invite design karva gayo to DJ ne jagya par laptop rakhya pachi router flicker kare che ane client bole, "Beta, lighting fix karo pehle." Data nathi, par anecdote che: kai var simple che ane kai var crowd ko bhi matter kare che. Tu ne outcome dekhyo, jo tara daughter ne sachu faydo thayo — ahi to koi debate j nahi.

পরের বাড়ির কেষ্টদা তার মেয়ের বিয়েতে গাড়ি ভাড়া করে এনে লোকারম্ভ করেছিল, এখন শ্বশুরবাড়ির লোকজন ওকে টাকা দিতেই আসে—আপনার মতো করে সরল রাখাটাই আসল। আপনার সেই সোনার চেন আর নগদ টাকার কথাটা মনে পড়ে গেল; আমার বাবাও আমার দিদির বিয়েতে তেমনই করেছিলেন, আর আজও দিদি বলে "বাবা ঠিক বুঝেছিলেন।

Bilkul right, yaar—that 'asmita' you speak of, it is the same feeling I have when I look at my tomato plants after a monkey raid. What remains is what was never borrowed. But I sometimes wonder, even that gold chain—is it not still a little bit of a showpiece for an emergency? The real investment, like my daughter's engineering fees, is what grows the child, not the locker.
