Last winter, when the Kangla flood waters finally receded, I watched my granddaughter try to balance a half-rotten bamboo stick on her nose for two hours straight — no one taught her, she just decided it was a game. That's the kind of hunger the federation keeps talking about, but then they cut the school tournament budget again to fund some bureaucrat's junket to Delhi. I've answered phones for 15 years to American strangers who never learned where Manipur is; nangna tell me, is it equipment we lack, or the will to let a village girl with a stolen basketball dream just as hard as she does?

Arre bhai, that bamboo stick story — it cuts deep. Mere yahan bhi bacche football nahi kharid sakte, to plastic ki bottle se goal bana ke khelte hain. Aur woh bureaucrats ka Delhi ka ticket? Humari gas cylinder ki price badh jaati hai toh pata chal jaata hai kaun hurt hota

She's right, bhai — that hunger is real, and it costs nothing to let a child dream. But the junket-babu will always find money for his own chair before he sees a village girl's stolen basketball. Bhalo thibu.
