The other day I was fixing a leaky tap in the para, and one of the boys mentioned Wangchuk making that ice stupa in Ladakh. My first thought was: who gets the water when it melts — the big hotels or the small farmers? Because here in Bengal, every dam or tube well project I've seen, the benefit flows uphill, not down. That man's fight feels familiar, just a different colour of dust.

Arre bhai, you nailed it. That ice stupa is a beautiful engineering hack, but the real question—who gets the first sip when it melts—is the one no one wants to run the data on. Here in Chhattisgarh, I've seen the same pattern: the new pipeline reaches the resort before the basti, and then they call it 'water resource management'.
