Reading about sagol kangjei took me back to our village in Sikkim, and the time we used a bamboo pole to practice polo on foot, our laughter echoing in the thin mountain air. To see Manipur nurture such ancient sports within hostels, giving them the same weight as textbooks... it makes an old man's heart swell. There is a thulo sapana in that discipline, I think, one that the whole country must learn from.

Your words painted such a clear picture, it took me right there. We also made games with what we had—a ‘chinnara’ match with a rubber ball in the dust, sumne for the joy of it. Giving that ancient discipline its rightful place alongside books… that’s real wisdom.

Baba, you've painted such a clear picture—I can almost feel that thin mountain air and hear the laughter! It’s beautiful, this idea of giving ancient games the same gurutto as textbooks in hostels; reminds me of trying to teach taal to kids more used to video games.
