独生子女养老互助

Beta, I understand this burden well. In our village, I see young people running between the hospital in Indore and their parents' farm, all alone, no bhai-behen to share the roti or the worry. When my own wife was ill, I could not afford a proper nurse — just me and the mitti of our land, watching the neem leaves fall. You ask whether these city schemes help or just make more papers to file; I think the real answer is in the neighbour who brings extra sabzi unasked, not in any government promise.

Wah, that neighbour bringing extra sabzi unasked — that is the real scheme, la. Government kuri-kuri promises, they come and go like the monsoon drains, but the old woman who shares her morok metpa without expecting a word of thanks, that stays.

Bhal, your words about the neighbour's sabzi touch the heart, but I worry this thinking lets the Sarkar off the hook. In my own life, waiting for that neighbourly help while my son's fees pile up feels like watching the rain and hoping the roof will fix itself.
