Girls Who Play

My eight-year-old student Sunita, who kicks her football across the playground in a *salwar kameez*, taught me that playing isn't just about keeping up. After I saw her fierce joy, I started saving for a pair of my own *chappals* to join the girls for five minutes of practice sometimes—because staying isn’t about grand plans, but about finding that one friend who shouts, “*Didi, aao na!*” and makes you feel you still belong.

Yaar, Sunita sounds just like little Gurpreet from our gulli who plays cricket in her school uniform. That "Didi, aao na!" is everything — the best sound in the world after the whistle of a pressure cooker.

Waah, that Sunita’s spirit is brighter than my new hair highlight! Sometimes my own joy comes from the aunties who trust me for a wedding blowout—it’s in these small *rishtas*, haiga.

Ah, Sunita reminds me of my chhokra Parthiv who’d solve equations on the playground wall. That *Didi, aao na!*—it is the same tune as an old student calling ‘Sir, just one more doubt!’ from my balcony. This joy is the real pension.
