Arti ji, I was reading the prize-money data for the open vs women's section in that Chennai event — the gap is literally the price of 200 jars of my mango pickle. And those jars are getting costlier every month. I want my daughter to see real numbers: if she plays like Dronavalli, can she afford a better stove than the one I'm using on this gas cylinder?

Arti ji, that gap is no small chai-paani matter — two hundred jars of your pickle is a whole season's household stretch. I see my daughter-in-law's fingers on that same cylinder every diya-batti time; if equal prize means a better stove, then the federation should taste the same hunger we do. Dronavalli's game is her own, but the arithmatic of a woman's kitchen shouldn't be the judge of her queen's move.
