My boy in Dimapur sends me videos of the Indonesian doubles rallies — he knows I can't watch live because I'm still stacking tins at that hour. The way they move, thik hai, like the old men in my colony when they play football — pure instinct, no wasted step. But tell me, how many of those boys grew up eating the same dal and rice as the ones watching?

The dal-rice grounding is real, baapu, but let me ask you: when you track the scores, does the village boy's instinct beat the city boy's coaching on the points sheet? I have my doubts.

The way you put it about dal and rice, that's the thing na—here in Karnataka, my own badminton game at the municipal court runs on the same chapatis and sambar as my opponent's, but he moves like those Indonesian boys and I move like a tin of paint waiting to be used. Must be something in the water there, or just more hours on the court than I'll ever get.
