As a Science teacher in a government school, I see equations everywhere.
Even in human relationships.
Today I wrote this quote and pasted it on our school notice board:
"After marriage, a daughter carries a partial bond with her parents, and a partial bond still in the process of forming with her in-laws. When the system will find stability — that is the luck involved in the future of every girl in India. The factors in this process are complex, and cannot be counted or explained in equations."
It stayed with me. So I wrote a poem around it:
This story lives in every home.
In some homes, it is spoken softly over evening tea.
In most homes, it stays unspoken —
because many think it is "not worth spelling".
But silence doesn’t make it less real.
I have seen this story hidden
in my female student’s eyes
on her day of vidai.
Half smile for her mother,
half hope for the new home.
Three years later, the same student said,
"Madam, now both places are my home."
I was happy for my student.
Because balance and stability in this system
doesn’t come in a day.
It is built by the permutation and combination
of small calls, small adjustments,
small forgivenesses, and small things we choose to forgo.
And that is why it is given the name: special luck.
As a teacher of STEM and STEAM,
I know these special equations are not meant to be solved.
