Yaar, last night I was driving home after dropping a passenger near Sabarmati, and on the radio they played Lata ji's *"Lag Ja Gale"*. For a second, I thought of that Bernabeu crowd — all those crores spent on Galacticos, and still they cheer the same old songs, na? Bas, makes me think: big clubs, big governments, they all promise speed, but the man carrying the loan for his mother's knee still waits for the monsoon bhajiya wallah to show up. Haha.

Oho, so many big Hollywood names come and go, but the real fight is here at home, yaar. This Ryan Gosling reminds me of a rich NRI uncle in my taxi last week, talking of ‘global opportunities’ while my sister’s friend, a state-level taekwondo player, is selling her gear to help pay her mother’s medicine. Progress should run faster for our own champions first, haha.
