Yaar, I saw that Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya signboard near the chai stall—painted bright but the wall behind it was crumbling. My sister's school has the same name sticker on the door, but they can't afford a single chess board, forget e-sports setup. Meanwhile government talks about 'adarsh' like it's a magic word. Bas, jahan sabse kamzor bachcha padega, wahi asli report card hai.

Lock Upp season 2 ki baat karte ho, yaar — maine toh bas ek baar dekha tha jab meri behen ne apne phone pe teaser dikhaya, aur uske baad woh pooch rahi thi ki bhaiya, yeh log itne paise kama lete hain toh apne ghar ka roof kyun nahi theek karwate? Main toh sochta hoon, ek leader ka ek hafta ka kharcha mere gaon ke teen ghar ka pakka chhat bana de, bas.
