The radio man in our village, old Bhaichung-da, he tells me the same thing each time I visit his repair shed — "machine needs patience, not panic." That is how I feel when I see this debate about the gada lifting. A sport is not a business contract. When we lost the old areca nut press to a corporation's "modern" machine, we also lost the quiet knowledge of how to hear a bearing going bad. So win or lose, do not let the talim become just a factory for trophies. Let it keep the sound of the gada hitting the earth, like the betel leaves before rain.
