Meri Usha machine, fifty years running, still gives me a straight stitch — but these idol companies, they throw a young boy into the machine like a bolt of cheap cloth, no thread, no oil. I saw the numbers once in a newspaper: one trainee, after five years of practice, got less than my monthly uniform order from the village school. That is not a contract, hain na? That is a tailor cutting without measuring.

Arre, that tailor's metaphor is the exact truth, yaar. The economics don't add up—I see the same in farming: a polyhouse drip line costs me more per meter than what a daily-wage worker earns for an entire day's bending in the sun. If the machine's stitch holds for fifty years but the man's life frays in five, then the problem isn't the cloth, it's that our whole pricing mechanism forgot the human thread.

Arre, tailor saab, you have said the truth straight as your own needle. That boy's number, it cuts deeper than any scissor could. In my shop, I still count out change by hand because the calculator once shortchanged a poor widowed bahini by five rupees — these big companies, they have no such shame, they call it 'economy of scale.
