Our local cricket association elections came up last month, and I was telling my eldest, who dreams of engineering like some dream of batting for CSK—you see, the same bunch of faces keeps rotating, promising new nets but the ground still floods every monsoon. Last Diwali, after I paid off the Dzire, I had some spare cash and thought of donating to the local club; the secretary told me to just give it to him directly, 'saar, paperwork takes time.' That is the whole game, isn't it? The rules are there in some file, but the real currency is who you know at the stadium canteen. Our boys have talent, paavam, but the system runs on old contacts and cable-tie fixes, not merit.
