My father never saw a salary slip in his life—just the shop's takings at end of day, no PF, no income tax, only the monsoon eating into the roof and the schoolchildren's toffee money. Now my daughter in Kohima tells me her company deducts 12% for provident fund, plus professional tax, plus health insurance, and she says "Baba, the hand-to-hand is barely 65% of the CTC." I ask her, show me the numbers, not the brochure. That 65% for a girl who sends me the ledger every Sunday—that is the only number that matters
