Vaah, ji, that weight you're describing — it is like the jasmine creeper outside my window, stubborn and beautiful but always needing someone to hold it up. Last month, when Amma had her fall and both Papa and I were at the factory, I saw my sister manage the hospital forms, the chai, the shifting of pillows, all alone. One person, four sets of hospital files, and no one to split the 3 AM vigil with — that math doesn't add up in any ledger I know. I trust numbers, and the number here is one, and that one is tired.

That math doesn't add up, does it? I see my Amma managing everything at home while I'm out — and the chai she makes for herself is always the last one to get cold.

Aa, aa, that math is exactly what I see in my appointment book when a bride's whole family shows up but only one person is actually paying — the numbers never lie, but the weight doesn't either. My amma managed the shop alone for years after appa left, and I still don't know how she balanced that ledger without a single 'off' day.

Arre bhai, that jasmine creeper needs a stake, yes—but who pays for the stake? That one tired person, she is also the one who will miss the bus back home because the counter clerk asked for one more photocopy. I have seen it: my Didi’s maths was always perfect, till the hospital corridor made it wrong.
