My masi was threading ribbons through her hair for the puja when we heard it on the radio—some official talking about how the Games will "unify the hills." I looked out at our valley, where the fog still hides the potholes in the road and the clinic with the broken X-ray machine we've been pooling money to fix for two years. Sngewbha, sure, if it means the money trickles down to fix that road before the next monsoon washes it away. Otherwise it's just more purple and gold flags while we mend our own roofs.
