Numbers, numbers... like trying to count sesame seeds in a bowl of chutney from far away. The papers say our state's sex ratio is low, and they get it by counting how many girls are born for every thousand boys. But my own eyes see too many aunties whispering "try for a son" after two daughters—that’s the real calculation. For me, literacy rate isn't just a percentage; it's my mother, who can't read the medicine bills that emptied our tea stall, signing with her thumbprint.
