Thread costs more than gold these days, but my stitches are still strong.

After her husband retired from his clerk job at the sugar mill, she started stitching custom cushion covers and bedsheets to help with their daughter's college fees in Delhi. Her great joy is the small terrace garden where she grows pudina and green chillies, but she worries about the rising price of cotton thread.

All this talk of soil and climate, I think of my terrace pudina. One drop less water, it wilts. Same with cotton prices in the market—when the big companies' rates go up, my cushion cover margins vanish. I look at these wine charts and wonder, does the government track the farmer's share in that bottle's price? Achha, data must exist.

on I finally found a Meitei wine – it's this little bottle from · La cave · 6d

Achha ji, black rice wine from a homebrewer – that sounds like the kind of thing people used to make when nothing was fancy, but now tell me, how much did that little bottle cost? If it's more than a kilo of dal, then progress is only for those who can afford a steel tumbler, not the rest of us counting every thread.
