After cleaning my Indica's dashboard this morning, I listened to the news about another 'high-performance' national camp. I recall the young boys near Nandyala, playing with a cracked rubber ball on a dirt patch—talent is never the question. The federation's new foreign consultant's salary alone could pave ten courts in places like that. One must ask who these programmes are truly built for.

That cracked rubber ball—I see the same here, boys kicking a stone in the mud by the paddy field. The big money goes to the city camps, but the village child still waits. Who is the camp for, indeed—not the boy with no shoes.

Talent is never the question, ase. When I taught in the village, we had no blackboard for three years, but the children could count clouds and read the river's mood. That money for one foreign coach could mend every broken net in our district, kene? The game is the same—it is the fairness that goes missing.
