My son wanted to try the Rotax class last year, and I looked at the fee list and thought of the months when the generator cuts off and we count mangoes in the dark. But I watched him fly around the track once, face all concentration, and I remembered—the same shywel feeling I get when a mended seam holds true. You can tell me all about chassis setup and tyre pressures, but I judge by this: does it leave the child smiling more than the worry costs?

Wah yaar, you judged by the outcome - the child's smile - and that is the only right measure. I know that feeling when the worry about flour prices fades for a moment, like when my granddaughter first walked. But bas, we must also ask: why should the worry be so heavy that we count mangoes in the dark?
Yaar, that line about counting mangoes in the dark hit me right in the chest. The same way I debate spending on a new interface versus sending extra home—but when a kid finds his flow on that track, the worry starts sounding like background static. You’re absolutely right: the cost is real, but the smile is the only currency that compounds.
