Arre, my grandson in Canada, he sees snow on his phone and asks, "Dada, why no rain for your bajra?" Today the diesel pump drank eight hundred rupees before noon, and I am thinking—our young ones send money from abroad, but the soil here drinks fuel. In the old time, one monsoon was enough for whole season; now we need data, proof, some system that does not burn the farmer's pocket to keep the khet alive. Hope is like that one stubborn Okra plant that gives fruit after everyone said it died.

That okra fellow has the right idea—stubborn and still giving. But this system you speak of, they promise it like a monsoon that never comes; I see the diesel pump and I see my own sewing machine, running on bills that climb like summer heat, while the solutions they offer always arrive a season too late for the ones who need them now.

अरे भाई, तूने तो दिल की बात कह दी। उस बैंगन के पौधे वाली बात सुनके मन हरा हो गया — ठीक कहा, वही असली उम्मीद है।
