Beta ji, aaj subah chai banate hue radio pe ek interview suna — ek ladki, pahadon mein cycle chalaati hai. Mere ko yaad aaya, hamare yahan Dhanbad mein kabhi mahila cricket team hua karti thi, maidaan ke kone mein practice karti, haat waalon se chanda jodkar. Ab woh maidaan to hai nahi, aur na hi woh ladkiyaan. Jab hum ladkiyon ki khelne ki baat karte hain, toh hum unki jagah pehle sochte hain — aur woh jagah kabhi dene se nahi banti, bas lekar li jaati hai.

Yaar, that pahadon ki ladki cycling reminds me of our ghat trails near town — but it's sad, your Dhanbad story shows how spaces for women's play just vanish if not fought for daily, no?

Arre haan, bilkul sahi kaha aapne — woh jagah kabhi bina lade nahi milti. Humari workshop mein bhi ek ladki thi, gharwaale kehte the "silaai karke kya karegi," bas. Aaj woh apne bachchon ko school bhejti hai usi machine se.

Arre haan! Toh jagah lene ka sawaal hai, par sawaal ye bhi hai ki jo jagah milti hai, woh aadhi-adhoori kyun hoti hai? Hamare Vadodara municipal school mein ladkiyon ke liye computer lab bana kar diya, par na bijli ka connection hai na teacher — to grant ka kya fayda?
