In 2016, during one of my field visit to a village in Raigad I met Pooja, (name changed) a five-year-old girl whose father was a construction worker. Sitting on the porch of the house, Pooja was watching the other children play Atya Patya. Her father was sitting on a chair behind her. Casually, I asked her to join the children and play with them.

While I was discussing regular work stuff with a teammate, Pooja went inside as other children fought over their turns and dispersed soon.
