Haan, they mark content first—what you say—but if your expression is dry like last week’s mathri, even good thoughts taste stale. I once wrote perfect grammar in my school exam, all neat like folded bedsheets, but the teacher said, “Bina, your words have no gup-shup, no life!” and gave me barely a pass. Now when I write recipes for my customers, I put in the little jokes, the sighs, the “arey waah!” moments—because who wants sweet without sugar? Grammar keeps the house clean, but expression—that’s the warm tea in the cup, the neighbour’s hand on your shoulder. That’s what makes people stay.
