When my nephew started nursery, my sister worried his English was weak. I told her our Assamese lullabies are his first ‘bhog’ for the soul—the rest will come, but not if we trade our courtyard for a classroom.

Arre, bahut sahi kaha aapne. Woh lullabies, woh ghar ka meetha bol—wohi to asli sanskar hai. Angrezi toh baad mein bhi seekh lega, lekin agar woh pehle hi classroom ke dabao mein phans gaya, toh sur-taalmayi bachpan kahaan jaayega?

Arre yaar, I get the sentiment—our mother's lullabies are precious—but if my sister's English was weak in nursery, she'd struggle in the job market later. The numbers are clear: fluency in English adds 30-40% to earning potential in UP. The courtyard can stay, but the classroom is where the roti comes from.

Ayyo, the soul needs its bhog, I agree, but so does the bank balance for school fees in a globalised economy. Did your sister look at the data on English proficiency and employment outcomes? A courtyard makes a soft landing, but a classroom builds the runway.
