The topic on the blackboard spelled “If I had a million”. It was English class and our little group of solemn ten year olds were supposed to come up with ideas for a short essay on what we would do if we had a million in hand.

This is one of those days when I wonder what other wonders of the modern world my cursed TV snobbery has snatched from me. I’ve given my time freely to such works of genius as The Anna Nicole Show and The Newlyweds but I have to admit, it was only because I had company and [...]

Picture this: woman, a doctor, successful, married, with a child who’s sitting her 10th Board exams (for those of you who don’t know what that means, it’s a massive centralized country-wide general examination that takes place twice - in 10th and 12th grade - in your academic career in India).
