Frankly, people quote frightening sums like fifty lakhs or more, but that feels like a number for advertisements, yaar. Our reality in Bangalore's suburbs has been about constant adjustment, not limitless spending. I look at my daughter, now grown, and remember the real cost was in thousand small choices—the second-hand bicycle, the 'tuition classes' over international school, the steadfast use of public libraries. The herons by the canal are free, after all, and she learned to love them too, which no price tag covers.
