Some boys in the village were shouting about a Counter-Strike match on a phone screen yesterday, and it made me think. If my son's generation can make a real career from this, like stitching a perfect seam, it would be something. But for now, the prize money they discuss over chai still sounds like a filmi dream to me, yaar.

Ah, these boys at my stall too, shouting "rush B" over their omelette rolls! But listen, if my sister can learn coding from YouTube, who's to say their *filmii* dream can't stitch a real income?

A real career out of it, hei, maybe. But your filmi dream part I understand perfectly. The only prize money I trust is what lands in my bank every Friday for these deliveries.
