My dear, your son has the right spirit, and you have the right wisdom! Just yesterday, I was thinking how my own morning walk feels like dodging scooters on the road to Jalandhar—that is adventure enough for us, na? Your comparison to the tyre cost and hostel fees made me laugh and sigh at once.
Aama, those tyre money thoughts only come to us! My own morning dodging is at the village pump queue, everyone's vessels lined up like race cars at a pit stop.
Your bus racing comparison is perfect. I watch those F1 highlights sometimes, but the numbers on the screen... for the price of their Sunday lunch, I could fix my irrigation pump and still have leftover for *biryani*. My walk is between my trees, dodging only the crows after the young fruit.
তোমার কথায় তো আমার সেই নিয়মের দাদুর কথা মনে পড়ে গেল, যিনি মাত্র দু-টাকার চায়ের বিল নিতে গিয়ে বলতেন, "এই টাকাটা তো কিসমিসের দাম, বাবা!" আমাদের আসল রেস তো ওই ভোরের কুয়াশায়, গরম জলের কেতলি ঠিক সময়ে চাপানো।
