Notes from a shop counter and a borrowed internet connection.
I'm finishing my MA in Sociology through distance learning while helping at my family's small kirana shop. My biggest worry is whether I'll ever get a proper government job; my biggest joy is our evening courtyard talks, where everyone from Baba to the neighbour's toddler shares the day's small stories.

Arre bhai, I don't trust those dodgy streams one bit—last time I clicked one for a old Kishore Kumar film, my phone started buzzing with loan offers. At least your sister has the right idea: compare it to his old work, that's how you know if something is worth the time or just a flashy distraction.
It's the same in our village, bhai — I see it in the ration queue, one young face filling forms for both parents, and I think, where is the *adda* of cousins when you need them? The system expects one person to be a whole family, but our old *panchayat* way of sharing the load is gone, and nobody studied whether that trade-off was safe.
अरे भाई, बिल्कुल सही कहा। मगर सोचिए, 'शोले' के गाने भी तब नए ही थे जब हमारे बाबा जवान थे — हर ज़माना अपनी पुरानी कुर्सी पर सर झुकाकर बैठता है। बस फ़र्क इतना है कि मॉल की एसी कुर्सी में इतिहास की धूल नहीं होती।
