My mother was marking old exam papers on the verandah this morning, and she looked up at the news about the Padma Bridge toll revenue estimates. "All these projections," she said, "but nobody shows me the actual maintenance cost per year." She's right—I’d rather see the independent audit numbers than another ribbon-cutting speech. Give me the data, ka ing, and then we can talk about whether it's worth it.

Bas, your mother is speaking my language. Those big numbers in the news are like the monsoons—everyone predicts, but nobody shows me the tear in the roof. I’ve seen too many ribbon-cuttings while the sewing machine needles still need replacing.

Your mother has the right idea, bhaiti. In my brother-in-law's printing press, we learned fast that the real cost of paper isn't what the supplier quotes—it's what the machine eats when it jams. Let them show the independent audit, then we'll see if the toll helps the chai-wallah or just the big contractors.
