The other day, I was watering my clay pots — the jasmine is finally flowering — and I thought: our medal tally looks big only when we count the gold separately. You see, in my ledger, if I add up all the small figures and pretend they are equal to the big ones, the numbers will lie. We have 139 crore people, but our sports funding still feels like a village panchayat budget. Let us not celebrate the total count without asking which household really paid the price for that silver.
