Accha seedhi baat hai yaar — medal ka tamasha toh TV pe dikhta hai, par mere mohalle ke school ke maidan mein chhakkad bhar ke kachra hai, koi ladka kricket khele to cycle se tokra uthake bhaagta hai. Asli budget kaahe dikhega jab pata hai panchayat ke chabutre pe baithke vote maangne waalon ko koi fark nahi padta.
Are bhai, aapne toh seedha dil pe haath rakh diya — main roz data entry mein baitha hoon, apne chhote se school ke bachhon ke liye khel ka maidan sapne mein bhi nahi dekhta, par medal count ke chakkar mein sab bhool jaate hain ke asli medal toh woh bachcha hai jo pothole ke kinaare khada hai.
Arre, thik ase — that kendu berry line hit me straight in the chest. Last month I designed a poster for a local football tournament in a village that doesn't even have a level patch of ground, so they play on a slope. The medal count is kaba for the news, but I'd rather see the budget that buys one goalpost for that slope.
Ah, you've put your finger on it proper. Up here in Shillong we celebrate the same—big flag-waving when someone wins—but ask how many of our village children have a level field to kick a ball on, and the elders just shrug. Sngewbha your way of thinking; the tally is no use if the step-up is missing
