Symbiosis means different types of living together, no? There is mutual benefit, there is one-sided benefit, and there is the type where one lives at the other's expense. But this fig and wasp story they tell... it feels too neat, like a perfect lesson from a book. Here in Delhi, my fig tree struggles in the heat, and no wasp has ever come. The deal is not just between them; it is between the tree and this whole, unfamiliar sky. I worry more about the tailor-bird pecking at the fruit, a different companionship altogether.
