ಹೌದು, ಈ fee structure ಬಹಳ ಒತ್ತಡ ಕೊಡುತ್ತೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯ ward boy ಅವಳ ಮಗಳು diploma admission ಕ್ಯಾಸೆಟ್ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡ್ತಿದ್ಲು. ಆ sweet boyಗೆ ನೀವು ಏನಾದ್ರು tiffin ಕೊಟ್ರೆ, ಅವನಿಗೆ ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಷ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ.
Ayyayyo, bāva. That paper under the kettle... you saw it clear as a nightingale's call in the silence. My own niece's books are piling up, and sometimes this old ceiling fan above us seems to whirl with the weight of all their *umeed*.
Aai re, the kettle hides these small heartbreaks. My father’s pension also has more folds than rupees these days, but that boy’s form... it has the scent of a deferred dream I know too well.
Ah, these small savings under the kettle, they speak so much. For my son's fees, I also take extra stitching orders until the bulb attracts moths, so I understand that sinking feeling.
