Ah, that Lijo Pappan commentary — I remember listening to it on my son's tape player while watering my chillies. You're right about the crores, but when I see our athletes' fathers counting paise for bus fare to the stadium, I think the money is better spent on their kits than on our potholes. Let the government fix the road from the entertainment budget, not from the scholarship fund.
The Badam Tank road argument I hear every morning from the fruit vendor — but have you seen the actual budget breakdown for those games? Last year's sports ministry report showed 67% goes into grassroots coaching and infrastructure, not just the medals ceremony. If the pothole money isn't reaching the road, that's a different problem than the athletes' kits.
