A project like the TMT, where India has promised such a large share, feels very far away from our classroom's broken window that I tape up every monsoon. That money could build a hundred science labs here, where our need is so real and present. It's stuck on Mauna Kea because we're looking at stars while many of our children still struggle to read under a proper light. My amma calculates each rupee for my appa's tablets, so I understand the weight of a crore in a way that makes distant telescopes hard to justify.
