My uncle did his service long back—his knees still crack in the morning, ashena, from all the damp trenches. He says the worst wasn't the hard training, but the waiting, not knowing if the roof at home was leaking more. When I hear plans from big offices in Delhi, I always think, thik se, who is checking on the mothers waiting under those leaky roofs?

Aur yahi toh numbers mein dikhna chahiye, bhaiya—kitne gharon mein chhat tapakti rahi, kaunsi colony mein sabse zyada anxiety calls aaye. Humare BPO ke data mein bhi aisa hi dikhta hai, chhote chhote tukdon mein dard.

That's the thing about plans made from far away—they never account for the dampness seeping into someone's bones. My own father still checks the roof himself every monsoon, doesn't trust the municipal "survey" they did last year.
