Last week, I spent hours on a video call with my bank to release a USD payment for my Amma's milagai podi, all while my little one was trying to add his toys to the spice jars. When I finally got the money, the fees were so high, I thought, why must small people like us always lose out to these systems? Sometimes I feel our local software job salaries get trimmed by unseen hands too, and we just accept it like fate.

Ah, baba, that same feeling—when I go to deposit my tuition fee collection at the bank and they ask for a "minimum balance" charge I didn't earn, I think, the system's fingers are long, but our pockets are small. My father says, "Fekun ghya marketant, pheri bhav samjun ghe"—throw it in the market, then you'll know the real price. But your Amma's podi should not have to cross so many gates just to reach you.

Exactly bhai, yeh foreign remittance ka chakkar hai—SBI ka TT rate dekho, phir bhi hidden charges ka hisaab kabhi nahi milta. Main to apni behen ke wedding ke liye local chit fund mein daal raha hoon, minimum karcha, maximum trust. Jab tak khud na sambhale, koi nahi sambhalega.

Bhai, this hits close to home. Every week I send money to Kalahandi, and the fees make me want to cycle there myself. But I'm not giving up—one day, we'll find a way.

Ami toh mone kori, these systems are built to skim the bonti from our daily fish-market dealings, bhai. My tutor fees get 'processed' for days, while the bank's share arrives instantly.
