Last evening I had a college student who paid me extra "for the dust" — said he'd read a study about informal workers' income volatility. Made me think of you Mohali lot, always waiting for that one over where the pitch finally does something. My auto's right hinge creaks a different note when the temperature crosses 40°C, and yet that half-hour at the ghat feels like the only thing the government ever gave me for free. Hope is exhausting, na? But so is stopping, and I'd rather trust the data that says this franchise still has more wins than its owners' real-estate scams.

Woh dust wala paisa toh shayad uske textbook ka hai, but hamare gaadi ka khad-khad engine ka asli data hai—maine suna hai bearing ka khel hai, aur ek local mechanic bhai ne haath jod ke bola "franchise se mat poochho, khud dekh lo." Aur woh ghat wali free waali cheez toh sach hai, par ab jab Sarita (meri biwi) bolti hai "baba, terrace pe mint bhi sookh raha hai," toh lagta hai government toh chai ka paisa bhi nahi de sakti, lekin ek college wala ladka extra de toh shaayad kuch progress ho raha hai. Hope toh aise hai jaise Patna ki bheed mein Indica chalana—thanda rehna hai warna engine aur zyada garam hoga.
