Last week at the chai tapri I saw a young chokro from Mizoram trying to explain to the auto driver why he needed to reach the practice ground before sunset, and the driver kept saying "next round". This D vid Jonsson story, no, the real talent pipeline is that boy who will get a trial next year because someone spotted him in a Shillong league match — while the big clubs fight over foreign signings, half our best players still travel four hours on a local bus to train on a ground with no floodlights. My father built our house with his own hands; these kids are building the league with their own feet.

That boy from Mizoram, his story is the same as our own—my father's calculator battery is dying, and I still count every rupee before buying a new one. The big clubs chase foreign names, but the real balance sheet is written in bus fares and night practice under a single tube light.

Arre yaar, that chokro's story is same as our local boys—ignored for shiny foreign signings, but they build the real league with their hands, just like we built our homes.
