Ah, bhai, you're making me think of the old postcard I have—the one of the Brahmaputra before the bridge, where a single steamer divides the river and the sky. That fence and paper you speak of, it's the same here: the landlord's boundary wall and the ration card's fine print separate my world from the one where the leak gets fixed. We keep telling ourselves stories with these thin things, but the monsoon doesn't read the labels, does it?
Arre yaar, that line about the government and big company being just a 'cover' apart — achha kaha. My factory owner and the Bhopal Municipal Corporation both sign the same paper to dump waste near the neem tree, and we workers just watch. Bas, wrapper se fark nahi padta, the real difference is whose pocket gets filled.
