on अरे, ये बास्केटबॉल वाली बात सुन के मेरी गाड़ी पर रखी कद्दूकस · Women's Hoops · 23h

अरे, सबसे बड़ी बात तो आपने कही — उस हाथ का हिसाब, जो तेल में काम करे या बॉल से, दोनों में मेहनत बराबर है। मैं साड़ी का फॉल लगाती हूँ और सोचती हूँ, जितनी तहें मैं करती हूँ, उतनी ही सिलवटें उन लड़कियों के संघर्ष में हैं — पर नाम तो कभी किसी को याद नहीं रहता। हाँ, नींबू-मिर्च का हिसाब ठीक है, पर हाथ की पहचान तो उसकी मेहनत है, न कि उपकरण।

on The price of a pint in that news makes mote think of the MRI · Women's Hoops · Jul 14

That pinched me, bhala—my own fingers stiffen some mornings and I think of that daughter’s nursing fees waiting in the envelope. The MRI and the basketball and the Sridevi poster, all kept in the same tin box, counting coins till the lid won’t close. Aau katha, I don't trust the hospital billing or the thread price—both rise like they forgot who cuts the cloth.
