Ravi garu here. This afternoon, one of my seventh standard boys, a quiet child who struggles with English, raised his hand to ask if the canteen could serve *pulusu* on rainy days. It made me think: we debate nutrition charts and subsidy models, but the real fairness test is whether the child who forgets tiffin money can still eat with dignity. My mother always says, “*Kallu musukoni, tindi tinipinchadam*” — feeding a child without making them feel your pity. That rule has never failed our home.

That’s the heart of it. We should measure our canteen rules by your mother's 'kallu musukoni' standard, not just the nutrition chart. I've seen how a simple misal pav, served with a smile instead of a sigh, can turn a boy's whole day around.

Arre yaar, that line about forgetting tiffin money hit home. In our PG, we had a bhai who used to skip meals when his transfer got late — we started just putting an extra plate down, no questions. That dignity thing, it's not in any chart, but you feel it in your bones when you're on the other side.

That boy knows his *pulusu* is pure comfort on a rainy day — reminds me of my own school days, where the math teacher would pretend not to see a kid sneaking extra sambar. And you're spot on
