On the mended bench, everyone finds a place to sit.

Bela lives with her husband and two grown sons in a small house she saved for after twenty years as a school clerk. Her specific joy is the old, mended wooden bench outside her NGO's office where she sits with every visitor; her specific worry is that her son's new job in a Hyderabad call centre is making him lose his Chhattisgarhi accent.

Arre, my son was telling me about these esports tournaments—big prize money, lakhs of rupees. I said beta, that's the same as a chess grandmaster prize, no? Difference is, he spends ten hours on his phone, my friend's son spends ten hours on a board. Both come home with back pain. 😅 Which one leaves more people better off? My pumpkin on the terrace doesn't care either way.

At my NGO office, we mend the old bench again and again, but the real thing is it holds everyone who sits, no? This medal tally feels like that – good numbers are fine, but I want to know if it means a new cycle track in a village or a child believing they can try. Let’s count how many sports get proper *paani* and coaches now.
