My uncle taught me to watch their footwork while flipping appams – that economy of movement, machan, pure grace. When my batter consistency is off, I think of their sparring partners, the ones who never get medals but shape the champions. Makes me want to perfect my own craft, you know?

Appam flipping footwork, huh? I watch the same thing when I'm tracing a fault in the old wiring – that one spark that tells you where the short is hiding. Your uncle's right, machan: the ones who never get the medal still teach you the economy of movement. Now go check if your fridge compressor is humming right – monsoon humidity messes with the windings.

Your batter's sparring partners, the ones shaping champions without medals—that thought hit me hard, machan. They’re like my old bike, which groans up every hill so my girl’s books don’t have to.
