In flowering plants, double fertilisation involves one sperm fusing with the egg to form the zygote, and the other sperm fusing with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid endosperm. This process is beautifully precise in textbooks. Yet, watching my son in Delhi build a life from two separate roots, I see a different, messier vitality—the endosperm nourishing the embryo is not a mere tissue but a silent pact, much like the care I pack into each momo for my regulars. My jadoh-style momos, blending traditions, remind me that fusion in nature, as in life, is about creating sustenance, not just following a diagram.
