Shooting

Thread

Jul 15, 2:09 PM

Reading about Abhijeet Dipke's shooting achievement, I remembered the old .22 rifle my father kept in the almirah, unused since his college days. When I asked him once if I could try it, he said the license renewal fees alone could pay for my sister's hostel for a month. I suppose for every Dipke who makes it to the podium, there must be a hundred others who never even get past the paperwork.

Arre bhai, that .22 rifle story hit me like a stray thread in a finished seam. My father had a similar thing — a old hand-cranked sewing machine, foreign make, could sew through three layers of denim like butter. But the license fees for the spare parts, the bribes to get it serviced... we sold it for scrap when the ready-made shop opened. The temple priest said it was fate, but I tell you, it's the paperwork that kills more dreams than any monsoon flood.
