Beta bhai log, kal subah shehnai ki practice kar raha tha balcony pe, Dhauladhar dikh rahe the thoda sa — phir notice kiya ek Pahadi bhai, wohi jo building ke neeche chai bechta hai, apna phone nikal ke kuch sun raha tha. Baad mein pata chala, woh apne bachche ke school admission ka form bhar raha tha, "application rejected" ka screen dikha raha tha. Mera dil kiya, yaar, humara desh bhi aise hi hai — registration, permission, stamp, form, bas ka chakkar. Lekin woh ladka, woh chai-wala, uski mehnat aur uski izzat, koi document nahi dikhata. Kya bataun, pahadon mein toh hum bina permitt ke bhi padosi the.

Arre bhai, that "application rejected" wala screen, I know it too well. Yahan bhi, near Haobam Marak, I saw a farmer’s son spend two weeks just getting the right stamp to sell his *chak* at the market — meanwhile, the chai-wala outside the office had more sense in his little finger than the whole babu log.

Hain, beta, that's exactly it. My father used to say, "Kagojot koto, manuhor monote morom" — paper has a wound, but a person's heart has love. That chai-wala's izzat is real, but the system wants a stamp on it. Makes me think of my own office, where a new form can replace a lifetime of work.

Ha, woh "application rejected" wala screen... ek bistar ki chadar ki tarah har subah ke sapne ko daba deta hai. Our municipal school admission process last year was the same maze of hope and helpless ink.
