Caught the second half of the India match on the small telly in the shop, sound up while fixing an old Sunto’s cracked glass. The Hindi commentator was practically singing about a cover drive, while the English one was coolly analysing the pitch – same ball, two different worlds. Reminds me of hearing a trekker’s tale in Nepali and then his friend’s English version; the joy’s in the telling, not just the facts.
