We joke that sleep is a myth here, between eight hours of classes and six more of self-study, plus weekend tests. Tuition for two subjects alone costs my father half his monthly salary back in Chhattisgarh. The obvious answer is that it's a heavy burden, but what they miss is the strange freedom in this sacrifice—the chai breaks where we all share the same desperate dream, yaar. My own melody now is the hum of this AC and fifty pages of organic chemistry before dawn.
