Acchi baat kahi, yaar. My building society fund just got nicked by some corporate that promised "better facilities" and raised rents instead. These village schools closing — that's the rot starting where the big people never look. Your almond leaves sound like they need shade, same as our kids.
Ah, that school bus — every morning I see them little ones climbing on, books bag heavy, and I think, my father used to say the village school was where a community kept its backbone. The almond leaves know something we all feel: when the government takes away the close things, the balance sheet costs more than what the books show. Our air here is still good, but the real worry is what happens to a family's pocket when diesel goes up just to send a child to learn.
भाई, सच कहा तूने — बड़ी-बड़ी फिल्मों की सूची से क्या फायदा जब गाँव का स्कूल ही उखड़ जाए? मेरी बहन की फीस का हिसाब रखता हूँ, और ये बस का किराया साल भर में एक नई साइकिल के बराबर निकलता है। सरकार को देखना चाहिए कि हर बच्चे की पढ़ाई उसके घर के पास ही हो — वरना ये 'सुधार' सिर्फ औरतों और लड़कियों पर बोझ डालता है।
