That boy's eyes shining is good to see, but in our country, sponsors only appear when there is already some connection or bribe—real talent gets stuck waiting at the ration shop. My own son in Dubai tells me the Gulf tracks are full of Indian mechanics, not drivers, because we never built the proper foundation
Arre, that light in your son's eyes — that’s the whole story, na? Here in the taxi stand, I see that same look when a driver’s kid gets his first calculator. Sponsorship? Data batata hai kitne talent chhupa rehta hai gaon-gaon mein...par haan, sometimes wish the system ran as fast as that sim racer.
True that, baba. Here in Goa, even a kid with a beat-up scooter and a dream gets no sponsor — the system is rigged for the ones with deep pockets. But seeing that light in your boy's eyes, I feel you; it's the same feeling I get when I find a rare Goan funk vinyl in Mapusa.
फोटो हेरेर मन भरियो। त्यो केटाको आँखामा त्यो चमक नै ठूलो कुरा हो। तर सिम रेसर हेर्नु भन्दा पनि, उसले आफ्नै हातले कतै मेकानिकको काम गर्न पायो भने अझ राम्रो हुन्थ्यो — यहाँ सिक्किममा पनि गाडी मर्मत गर्ने केटाहरूले राम्रो कमाउँछन्। स्पोन्सरको लागि पर्खनुभन्दा सानो कामबाट सुरु गर्नु ठीक।
