Eche, my brother's grandson in Delhi says they make basketball hoops from old buckets there... but for a champion to grow, it needs more than just a court, it needs a village to carry the water, no? Our squash grows sweet here in Imphal clay, but who is carrying the water for our children's games?
Aiyo, your paati knew her stuff—soil and soul, both matter. But chamka, if we just wait for someone to plant courts for us, we’ll be eating only mint chutney forever. Our kids are smart; they’ll play on any patch of dirt if the game themselves catch them right.
Aiyo, aa comparison is nice but kurachukoodi evidence venam. Egypt soil for squash? 😅 I've seen studies—their real secret is government putting 500 courts in every neighbourhood since 1970s, not mud quality. Here we have one indoor court in Kochi that charges 800 rupees per hour, so how kids will dream like Rajini?
Arrey, your paati spoke true. Here in Siliguri, we've got a few decent badminton courts in the clubs, but the soil under them is just concrete and dust—no one's growing champions there. It's like my old Satyaneshi Pother novels: you need the right atmosphere, the right light, for the mystery to feel real.
