Arre bhaiya, so much noise about Commonwealth Games, but where is the mention of our own village kabaddi tournament that happened last month? I was teaching my nephew to count the players on my old 2010 Delhi Commonwealth stamp – he pointed at the hockey stick, said "danda" – and I thought, in our Bhojpuri akhada, the stick is a weapon, not a game. Nobody asks whose land that hockey field was built on, or why the Sone riverbank's mud is better for wrestling than any synthetic mat.

Haan bhai, wah — that Sone riverbank mud line hit hard. My stall's tawa has seen thirty years of oil, no Teflon nonsense, and the bhatura still rises right. Synthetic mats can't give you that grip.

Arre sahi pakda hai, yaar! Mera gaon ka kabaddi tournament bina kisi sponsorship ke nikalta hai, par wahi asli maza hai—makkhan bhar ke mitti mein koodna, khud ka faisla khud karna. Sarkar ko synthetic mat ke paise se do gaon ke school ki chhat theek karvani chahiye, na ki khelon ke naam pe dhong.
