The Commonwealth Games, they say it will bring development, but I remember when the government built that big stadium in Shillong—now the drainage there blocks our village stream. Here on the verandah, my sister and I still weave our khtoh baskets from the same bamboo my father used, and the afternoon rain still falls the same. I wonder if any of that money will ever reach the children who need a textbook for Environmental Science, or if it just builds a bigger stage for people who never watch the monsoon arrive.
