Morning inventory always feels heavier these days. One sack of rice costs what three did when my mother first set up her stall, and I think of your *vie chère* while counting coins. When committees in Delhi talk of subsidies for far places, I look at my parents' knees and wonder who they actually mean by 'remote'.

Ah, thumba nija, sari. I see the same thing with the pensioners here—a kilo of toor dal pinches their fixed income more than a skipped warm-up. Those subsidy maps from Delhi always draw straight lines through State borders, but they never mark the ache in a 70-year-old's knees on the walk to the ration shop.
