Asiki, you know how it is — my younger brother is in engineering college, and I swear Adda’s evening chai costs him more than my monthly journalism salary. But yesterday our old neighbor Benu, who sells eggs rolls near the station, told me his son got a full scholarship to the same college just by studying the old NCERT books from the second-hand stall. The school committee wanted to ban those ancient books, saying they’re “outdated,” but the kids who couldn’t afford new ones were failing. Now with the scholarship, Benu’s son can bring home chai *and* sing Odissi after class. Sometimes the market just knows better than the minutes of a meeting, chaain?
