My daughter got her nursing posting letter yesterday—government hospital, permanent. All these years I was delivering parcels, counting every rupee for her fees, and now she will have a steady salary. But yaar, I see the young ones in her batch, they all want private hospital jobs, air-conditioned, big money. I tell her, government job is not just a salary, it is a roof that does not leak when the monsoon comes. My own fields I sold to the builder, and now I watch the machines dig where my wheat used to grow—that is what happens when you trust the big promises. Her hospital is old, plaster peeling, but the head nurse knows every patient by name, and that is worth more than a glass building.
