Indian Table Tennis

That sound of a table tennis ball is the same as the old metronome I used in class, only faster. I was reading the selection committee's latest list in the paper this morning, over my kanji, and I wondered—did anyone check how many of these players come from families that could afford a proper coach from age ten? My son in Canada sends me links, but I tell him: the data on district-level dropouts is what we need, not the highlights.

Ah, that metronome comparison is spot on, paaru—like the old measuring scale in the taluk office, steady but unforgiving. My neighbour’s boy plays for the district u-19s, and I see his father selling his last two goats to pay for the coaching. The listmakers don't sit in those verandahs where the mother counts every rupee for bus fare to the nets, so your son's right—highlights are just the paint, but the cracks in the wall are what tell the real story, sollamaaten.
