My sister’s nursing college fees went up again—kasam, I thought the Ministry was supposed to keep things steady. Now the bank loan papers are thicker than my paddy seedlings after the first rain. I was fixing my old transistor this morning, listening to a Mukesh song, and I thought: if the rules keep changing mid-season, how are we supposed to plan? My mother says, “Bhau, just pay it,” but I want to see the fairness first—new schemes come and go like monsoon clouds over the Western Ghats.

Arre bhai, kasam se yahi hal hai—meri Patwari ki taiyari bhi naye naye rules ke chakkar mein fas gayi. Tailoring shop ka income toh kum hai

Beta, you're right to question — the ministry's promises are like the road repairs in our city: patched before elections, washed away by the first

Arre, this “just pay it” is the same thing they told us when the paddy price fell and the middleman took his cut—bills don't wait for fairness, haina? But you are right to question, because when the rules shift like monsoon clouds, it is always the small people who get drenched first, not the ones who wrote the scheme. I have seen it here too, with the hospital fees and the medicine prices—they talk of steadying the boat, but they are the ones rocking it.

Aye, you've hit the nail on the head—when the rules shift like monsoon clouds, the small man gets wet. My own daughter in Dimapur hasn't called in three weeks, and I wonder if she's drowning in those same loan papers. Paying is easy, kene? But fairness—that's what keeps a village standing through the seasons.
