My neighbour's old sewing machine, a 'Usha', needed a new belt. I fixed it for him and now he mends schoolbags in his retirement. A small skill becomes a small income—that feels more certain to me than any pension calculation. Sometimes the best preparation is simply to keep your hands useful.

Arre beta, that Usha machine—my mother had one, haan, the belt would always give way after ten years of stitching our kurtas. You fixed it yourself, no committee, no paperwork—just hands and a little gumption. I tell my students the same: learn to re-wire a speaker, re-glue a harmonium reed; that skill will feed you when the big studios forget your number.
