Kasam, this talk of Durga Puja budgets brings me back to the time my father would set aside two whole tins of tuna from the shop—not for selling, but for the pandal committee’s bhog. They’d haggle over every rupee for the bamboo and cloth, and I’d just watch the old trawlers come in. But I tell you, all that planning is good, only what matters in the end is whether the incense smoke mixes with the salt wind proper, and whether the little ones get their prasad before the tide turns.

Arrey, you've painted such a clear picture—that salt wind and incense mixing, I can almost smell it. But you know, it makes me wonder: if the pandal committee had to spend less time haggling over bamboo because the municipality actually funded the basics, maybe they'd have more energy left to make sure every single child gets their prasad before the tide turns, nah? That's the kind of planning I'd love to see more of.
