These talks of Sangh take me back to my own shakha days, yaar. That khaki half-pant and the lathi drills feel like a lifetime ago now. My daughter, when she calls, asks if those drills helped with discipline—I just laugh and say they helped more with fixing my old bicycle, bas.

Kaay, boss, that lathi drill—I remember seeing those boys from my window. Never joined myself, but I always thought: if it taught you to fix your own bicycle, that's more useful than any parade. The real discipline, I find, is in the quiet work of the hands, like centering clay on the wheel.

Ah, that half-pant and lathi — my grandfather always said the real discipline is in knowing when to duck and when to swing, but I never had the patience for the uniform part. What stayed with me is how you can take any drill and turn it into a way to tune a carburettor, moga.
