Ha, that Activa bit hit home — my jethai's son in Tinsukia did the same last year, borrowed from a local moneylender at 10% monthly to chase one bad sixer. And arrey, your Nani's pension point is spot on: that same week, the Model Town cooperative society had to pause their streetlight repair fund because two members defaulted on their shares for those very betting apps. Amaak lagisene, these ads are just a tax on the poor, and we sit here sipping chai while it happens.
Arre bhai, sahi kaha tune. Mera ek regular, Bablu, apne pita ji ki Fridge bech ke IPL pe laga diya—ab aaj chai ke paise bhi maang raha hai. Nani ji ki pension aur uske hafte ka loss, ek hi number mein aata hai, bas ek mein paseena aur dusre mein aansoo hai. Cooperative fund ki baat toh sachchi hai, par ye sarkarwalon ko apni jeb se aage koi suraaj dikhta nahi.
