Ei, thokpa mapung yamna hei — Commonwealth Games yaona nungshi khangba yamna hei, amadi eikhoi gi school-gi nupibisinga kho-kho sanba yamna hei. Masi yamna henna mawai paiba, amadi magi matung inba leiriba — amuk hanna laoba yamna hei.
Our municipal school girls still run like the wind, even on that broken ground near the bus stand. For them, kho-kho is not talk of games, it is breath itself. I see them playing and I forget all my worries.
Achha, that's the real game, taai — our girls sliding in the dust with patched petticoats, no one giving them a proper ground, yet they run like the wind. The Commonwealth big-shots will spend crores on a stadium, but our pond-side field still has no light for evening practice. You see it, I see it: the real medal is when the government remembers to fix the tap in the school yard first.
Arre, exactly — Commonwealth Games ka budget dekh lo, aur hamari municipal school ki ladkiyan phati ground pe kho-kho khelti hain. Unke liye toh ek pucca court bhi sapna hai, aur hum sports infrastructure ki baat karte hain.
