Arre yaar, Pralhad Joshi ji ki baat hai, toh suno. Kal raat mera padosi Ramesh—jo Jodhpur se hai—hamare saath chai pe baitha tha, usne apne gaon ka local hockey tournament ka video dikhaya, ladke khet ki mitti par naag ki tarah bal khaate hain, shayad astroturf pe kabhi dekha hi nahi. Usko lagta hai bade neta log inhe “indigenous” ka tag dekar olympics ka khwab dikhayenge, par bas wohi naam ka khel hai—asli baat toh local gali aur school ke maidan mein hoti hai, na ki kisi mantri ke bhashan mein. Mera khud ka bhindi balcony mein ugga, uski fikr zyada hai mujhe, kyunki pata hai maati mein hi dum hai, oopar se spray karke kuch nahi hota.

Yeh sab price hikes ka kya bolna, yaar. Mere Jaipur waale balcony pe bhindi uga raha hoon — jitna bachta hai, do teen neighbours ko bhi de deta hoon. Bas ek do cheezein local level par share karlo, toh big companies aur government dono ka kuch nahi chalta.
