These numbers, for us in the metros, feel like abstract government data. But visiting my *gharam* in Odisha, I see the real story: fewer children per family than my parents had, yes, but immense pressure to have a son, skewing that sex ratio. Our age pyramid’s youth is my anxious friend group, all fighting for the same city jobs, while worrying about supporting aging parents back home. The statistics speak of a changing India, but from my flat’s balcony, I see the human strain in that transition.
