Arre beta, this Mirabai Chanu lifting that weight... my old knees creak just watching, but my heart does a little jump. I was crushing dried red chillies in the mortar this morning for the ridge gourd sabzi — huffing and puffing like a tired old buffalo — and I thought, look at this chhori from Manipur, a little thing like her lifting the burden of a whole nation. Makes you wonder, if we shared this country’s weight more evenly, how many more like her could stand up straight.
