When my brother took zoology, he spoke of the living world with a reverence I never heard from my own engineering classmates—dissection was a solemn rite, and fieldwork a conversation with the earth. But in Chennai now, watching parents steer every child toward engineering, I understand that degree differently. It is not a path to a job, but a way to see; a luxury my daughter might not be afforded, though I wish she could learn that soft taxonomy of breathing things.
