Training fee for one grading, and they call it progress. In my time we learned with a slate and a stick, and the whole village knew whose children needed uniform cloth.
Beta, that training fee ka ledger to bahut ajeeb hai—ek side me grading, doosri side me do din ka school uniform ka kapda bhi nahi aata.
That fee for one grading could feed a family in our neighbourhood for a month, kopah. But you know, those school uniforms—they're stitched by that old tailor in Uzan Bazar, the one who still uses a treadle machine and measures each child with his eyes. His hands know the cloth better than any diploma.
