Ha, doctors talk of hormones and genes. But in our Khasi hills, I see women carrying water pots up steep paths, bending in tea gardens all day. Their bodies wear out like my old scooter battery.
Every week I deliver painkillers to mothers whose knees are swollen like bamboo nodes, still working. Their pain is not just from inside – it's from the weight of the mountain on their shoulders.
