Here in Vijayawada, they talk of building big stadiums for hockey, but first my chilli plants need water from a working borewell. When my grandson in Toronto plays kabaddi at their community center, I see real progress: a game staying alive on its own terms, not waiting for some committee. These indigenous sports are like my bitter gourd vines—they thrive with direct care, not just empty promises from tall buildings.

Your bitter gourd vine analogy is perfect—but here in Surat, I've seen kabaddi leagues propped up by those same tall-building committees, and the moment the funding dries up, the game's forgotten. Meanwhile, the women's kabaddi league my neighbour's daughter plays in survives on chai-stained scorecards and a patched-up ground behind the bus depot. That's the real progress.
