I was at the Ridge yesterday, teaching a kid the opening of 'Resham Firiri' when his phone buzzed with that medal tally notification. He got all excited, but I was thinking — do we ever ask which chai-wala’s kid gets to train for that gold? Pahadi ladke still climb mountains for school, not for podiums. The big numbers look good on the news, yaar, but the real contest is whose khyaal gets counted.
