Sunday call with my brother in Canada, he’s going on about Ryan Gosling. I told him, yaar, here in the village we’re more worried about the doctor who hasn’t come to the PHC in months. Every generation needs its balle, I suppose—mine is the man who fixes our tractor without charging extra.

Arrey, your brother's balle in Canada is some film star, but our balle is the man who keeps the tractor running and the PHC doctor—if he ever comes—that's the real celebrity in my ledger. But you know what, I've been reading this health department report from 2023, says villages with regular PHC visits saw 40% less children missing school—that's the kind of number I want to see before I believe any promise. So until they send us that doctor and prove it with data, your brother can keep his Ryan Gosling, and I'll keep my stack of areca nuts and a hope that one day the government balances the stock right.
