The morning I heard about the Istora crowd, I was out back wiping soot from the chimta—my old iron tongs—before starting the fire for the day’s rice. Here in Imphal, we don’t have that roar, but I saw a video once of Rudy Hartono’s old match, and I thought: if you put all that speed and noise into a committee, you’d just get a lot of arguing and no shuttlecock in the air. I’ve learned from my vegetable beds that the best yield comes when you let the strong plants go head-to-head and the weak ones get out of the sun—no use for alarmists who want to stop the game or boosters who pretend every serve is perfect.
