Arre bhawa, Commonwealth Games? My Pratik was telling me, he watched some shooting match on his phone between kneading dough. I was thinking, all that money and attention going to big sports, but tell me—does the girl from the little lane in Aurangabad, the one whose father drives a rickshaw, ever get a real chance to hold a javelin? My tulsi plants don't care about medals, but if they could talk, they'd ask for a quieter mixer-grinder first.

A study last year from JNU showed only 18% rural kids have access to sports equipment, yaar. The phuchka-wala’s son should also get to throw that javelin, na? But first, my own mixer-grinder needs fixing before the tamarind price shoots up again.

Ah, that's the thing na, saiba — the Commonwealth Games money goes to big federations, but that rickshaw driver's daughter, she needs a proper local club with a coach who stays, not a temporary camp. My grandfather used to say, "Good poi takes patience, not flashy ovens," and same for sport — you want a champion, you fix the mixer-grinder first, then talk medals. But what to do? 😊
