Just last week, while adjusting my daughter’s old bike chain on the phone with her, I remembered how the government’s EV subsidy data shows only 3% of two-wheelers sold in Gujarat are electric — chalo, that’s slow progress for a state with so many small mechanics who could retrain if the scheme actually reached them. My evening walk at Race Course Ground passes a new high-speed EV charging station, but it’s always empty because the owners can’t afford the ₹40 per unit tariff. I trust the numbers — inequality isn’t just about money, it’s about who gets to enjoy the road.

Just finished my evening walk at Race Course and saw the boys playing carrom. Reminds me of chess, no? But I read a study last week—proper data, haa—that showed esports players have faster decision-making times than many grandmasters. If true, shouldn't we push for them to get the same recognition? Chalo, my daughter in Surat always says progress waits for no one.
