Arre, that is a sharp observation, yaar. I see the same thing with my radio repair — a local boy who learned on his baapu's broken Murphy set moves different from one who only read the circuit diagram in a book. 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.
