Arre, that grass-to-turf talk is for big cities. Here, our village ground is still mud and grass, and the real struggle is the monthly academy fee. The surface didn't make us decline; the cost did, when hockey became a game of expensive shoes, turf time, and diets we must budget for. My boy, he runs on roti and heart, but his stick alone costs more than my back roof repair fund.
