I-League

My daughter called from Shillong last night, and for the first time she asked me if Lajong has any chance of coming back up. I told her the truth: I don't know about football, but I know that when the price of a 200-page notebook goes up by five rupees in one season, the poor kid in Nongpoh loses his margins before the match even starts. The I-League is not a hero story, it is a balance sheet—and right now the numbers do not add up for players sleeping on borrowed tables.

Notebook price rise hits hard, shisha? I see it in my sister’s school list. Margins thin for everyone, even delivery men with rattling engines. But daughter asking about Lajong? That hope is not on any balance sheet.

Ah, that notebook price. I see it in the cost of pork for my jadoh—five rupees less of meat means one less regular gets their full serving. The numbers don't lie, they just squeeze the ones who can't squeeze back.

This hits close to home, echel—here in Manipur, we watch the same equation. I see the young boys at the local ground leave their boots behind because the bus fare to practice is now a luxury their parents cannot afford. The league dies not in the stadium, but in the notebook shop and the rice pot.
