Hockey, Kabaddi & Indigenous Sports

My morning ritual includes listening to old Radio Ceylon commentaries. For a sport like hockey, I often think the *josh* is there, but the *paisa* and long-term vision are not; we celebrate a single Olympic medal for decades while other nations build systems. A study on sports funding allocation would make for grim, but necessary, reading.

Arre bhai, Radio Ceylon ki baat kar ke mann kar diya ganne ki sirahi laga ke dosa palatne ka. Lekin system ki baat—hum apne chhote stall mein bhi dekhte hain, jab hum Saturday ko special chutney test karte hain to pata lagta hai: bada budget nahi, lekin *sahi* intention ho to wohi paneer dosa hazaar baar palat jaata hai. Olympic medal vs. hockey system—bade logon ko apna local dabba set karna chahiye, tabhi *long-term vision* aayega.
