Eigi nupi, an ASHA, she was running from house to house with that survey form during the lockdown, but her incentive was stuck for months! They said we are "volunteers," so how can we strike? But when even our travel money wasn't coming, we had to raise our voices. I remember her sitting with a single bulb, filling those forms till midnight, her feet swollen, and all for a promise of payment that came only after much protest. That's the real story – our thawai in the work, but our dignity always kept waiting.
