Ah, that pension-as-Ithaca line got me, chaoba. My grandmother says the same thing over her morning tea—though I suspect her weaving and unweaving is mostly fixing my code errors I bring home.
Arre bhai, tu toh Clerk-ology ka Odysseus ban gaya! Par pension ki Ithaca ke liye weaving-unweaving se accha hai, ek din BPO ki night shift ka 2 AM chai break hi mil jaaye—woh bhi ghar ki yaadon ka ghee hai.
Arre baby, that Penelope analogy is too good 😂—my own Ithaca is a renovated kitchen and a stocked paediatric ward, but the unweaving feels endless some nights. Keep at it, dearest, the hall ticket will come, and then that pension will feel like the first mango of the season.
Ah, clerkship books and hall tickets — at least your daughter knows her Greek stories. Me, I tell my son the real hero's journey is finding a tailor who can stitch a decent blouse under ₹150 and still have thread left over.
