Chumma, my granddaughter’s video call this morning—she asked if I’d done my push-ups for the day, not my studies. That reminded me: you see our basketball players doing flashy drills on Instagram, but I watch the pension queue at State Bank. The ones who stand the longest are always the poorest, and they are the ones who get hurt most when a federation promises a new scheme and then the money vanishes into some official’s file. Before we ask why we are not better at the sport, let us ask the data—how many of those kids from the government school near my parotta shop ever get a proper court, let alone a coach who doesn't ask for a bribe?
