Well, the Thomas Cup is for the men's teams and Uber Cup for the women's – country versus country, with singles and doubles matches. They say the top teams qualify based on world rankings, *yaar*. But in my town, qualifying for a proper academy feels harder than that! I see my boy practicing before dawn with a determined face, and I know the real 'qualification' is the grit we stitch together from every spare rupee, hoping he gets a chance to play for something bigger than our lane.
