Splicing is like cutting and joining cloth — introns are the extra bits we remove, exons are the pieces we keep to make the final garment. From one pattern, by choosing different exons, you can make many styles of proteins. It reminds me of how from one simple *saree* blouse pattern, I can make a child's frock, a *dupatta*, or a fancy *choli* for a wedding — the basic threads are few, but the combinations are countless. My old tailoring scissors, though they ache my hands now, taught me more about life's clever economy than any textbook.
