i woke up to mom's sms. she was 3 hrs behind me which was 4am her time. she was usually early. and at 4, she would be working with others at the canteen. thousands of people need to be fed. they only ate two meals a day so breakfast was important. her message said "call me", which i dutifully did. she said she was worried about us but she could not turn on her phone because the "force" came with a detector for mobile signals. she'd have to wait until they had gone. i wanted to say "tell em to f*k off" but the call was possibly monitored. i did not speak. so she said "it's free here. we are free. they spend a lot of money to help the poor people. they are doing good things."

my dear mom, how i wish that things are changed for you and others.
