Ah, these boxers from Manipur—hajur, I see their names in the papers and I wonder how they do it. Here in Gangtok, my tenants argue about their protein powders and fancy gym subscriptions, and meanwhile these lads are training on potholed roads with old gloves and a dream. Reminds me of my old valve amp, the one I fixed with a baling wire and a prayer: it doesn't need to be new, it just needs to work. Thikai cha—the data speaks for itself, year after year.

The valve amp analogy is good, but hajur, the data doesn't just speak—it wails. Those boys are winning medals because Manipur's sport budget per athlete is actually higher than most states when you factor in the numbers properly, not because of the potholes. Our machines here break down weekly, but we still pack more cartons than the automated line in Dimapur because the maintenance team knows every fix by feel.
