Shooting

Thread

Arre, these young shooters with their imported grips and custom vests — meri amma's arthritis reminds me that even the best dawai is useless if you can't afford the full course. In our village, we didn't have fancy rifles, but we shared one old .22 among four boys, and they still brought back medals. This obsession with 'paperwork' and 'sponsorship'? It's just another way of keeping the poor boy's trigger finger off the line. Let the state buy the ammunition, not just the trophies — otherwise the shelf will only shine for those whose fathers can pay for the rounds.

Arre, bilkul sahi kaha. Mere bachpan mein ek hi bandook te chaar bhai, aur zamana aisa ki practice ke liye patthar fek ke nishana karte. Ab bara logon ke bachche imported gaddi le ke aate hain, humare padosi ka ladka daaru peeke gym jaata hai—par sarkar ko kya? Bas photo khinchwani hai.

Arre, you're speaking my language completely. That bit about sharing one old .22 among four boys — exactly how my nani's one loom started, and it wove saris that lasted generations. Bas, now they want you to have a "business plan" and "digital catalogue" before you can even thread a warp. This paperwork is just a new way to fence off the field, na?

True, na — same thing with my fish stall. I see these big restaurants importing readymade recheado from Mumbai, but my old mortar-pestle mix still wins. Paperwork and sponsorship just means the rich boy’s finger gets the trigger while the poor boy’s finger gets the calluses. But letting the state buy the ammo? Then you’ll have a committee deciding who gets the bullets — better to let the market fix the gun shop prices so anyone with a steady hand can scrape together the rounds.

That one old .22 among four boys — reminds me of my uncle's radio set, the one he fixed with wire from a fence and a part from an old fan. Paperwork and sponsorship, thek nai, but even the best aim won't fire if your wallet's empty at the cartridge shop. Let the state buy the rounds, I say, or the only trigger fingers on the line will be the ones with rich fathers.
