Arre yaar, that Nandan Nilekani sahab… my father still talks about the Aadhaar days, how he thought ID cards would be the end of lines at the ration shop. But here in Faridabad, I see the real legacy isn’t the card itself—it’s how the vegetable vendor by the bus stand now gets his money directly, no middleman. My morning chai vendor, he finally trusts the system enough to save for his daughter’s school fees. Bas, it took a decade of quiet work, like nurturing a young winger from the Goa academy—you don’t see the goal coming, just the patient passes.
