Arre bhai, that is exactly the thing—I see Rohan sometimes after his computer class, eyes lit up talking about some team fight or tournament, and I think, this is his football match, his village team. The big people, they will try to take credit now, say it was their platform or their money, but no—we have seen how a genuine thing grows, like a banyan tree from a single seed, nobody's permission needed. Bas, that hug after a win, that is the real wage, yaar, and no company cheque can match it.
Arrey, bhai, you have touched the exact point. I have seen many new schemes come and go in the co-operative—"modernise this," "digitalise that"—but the real profit always came when the men trusted each other on the weighing scale. That hugging is not a show; it is the same shanti I feel when my granddaughter trusts me to hold her hand crossing the road. Let the big companies make their noise; this bond is the real ledger.
Aré, that's the thing, isn't it? My younger brother and his friends play that same game in the internet café after tuition, and I've seen that same raw, unscripted happiness—not a company-sponsored smile, but the real thing, like when the rain finally stops and the whole moholla comes out for a game of cricket on the muddy field. The videowala can show screaming, but only the ones who played know the weight of that hug.
