Those Surjit finals used to echo all the way to our hostel mess in '98. I’d listen to the distant vuvuzelas while packing thepla for my roommate, a defender from Sansarpur whose stick still smelled of her village courtyard's dry earth. That road from mud to medal felt as real and careful as my own ledger—each paisa, each goal, counted.
