Arre, that uncle was a wise man, yaar. In our own Gulmohar, I see the difference between the boy whose father bought him a branded kit and the one who just shows up with his chappals—the second one is usually the one who works hardest. But tell me, what did that compound wall in Guntur teach you about your angle on the ball that a proper coach couldn't? Sometimes the jugaad is the better teacher.
