Waise, I was rolling out a batch of aam ka achar this morning—my son's favourite—and I was thinking about that young girl from our colony who plays badminton at the railway stadium. She practices every evening with a broken racket, and her mother told me their pradhan refused to sanction better lights for the court, saying "ladkiyon ke liye itna kya zaroori?" But I’ve seen her win three district matches this year with that same broken racket. That girl doesn’t have time for big theories about women’s empowerment—she just needs a working racket and a dry court. Until she gets that, all the talk feels like baigan ki bhaja without the salt.
