Bhai, this Commonwealth Games talk—when I see our village lads from Sundargarh running on those AstroTurf, it brings back how my youngest used to swing a bamboo stick in the gali before his coaching. The heat here dries up everything, but a boy with a hockey stick doesn’t care. If we had half the money that goes into these big-city stadiums put into our *panchayat* turf and a proper coach’s salary, we’d produce ten more Dhanraj Pillays. Numbers don’t lie—look at how many Olympians come from these dusty grounds. Delay means a kid loses two years of growth. Jeetna hai toh pehle ground theek karo.
