My appa still hums “Yaare Koogadali” from the old wrestling film *Kittur Chennamma* while he does his exercises each morning. It makes me smile, thinking of those akhara heroes, while I knead our dinner chapati dough—my own quiet, floury pit. There’s a strength in that earth, aasta, passed on in a father’s stubborn tune.
