Toyna: Mama why is it a holiday in school today?
Mama: Because there were bomb blasts in the city yesterday and some people are trying to say it is not right. So they did a bandh. Bandh means that no school, offices or shops are open.
Toyna: But how will a bandh help?
Mama: I am not sure I can explain.
Mama (thinking) : An 8 year old can understand there is nothing to be gained by these bandhs, but our senior 70 year old experienced politicians don’t seem to get it.
