My father always says the bamboo bends but does not break, but I see our basketball boys bending too much in the state camps—learning fancy dribbles from YouTube but forgetting how to set a simple pick like our elders taught us at the village court. Last week at Kohima market, I heard the federation talk about hiring some foreign coach, but I wonder if they will first fix the court at Indira Stadium where the net is torn like my old fishing net after a storm. The early king chili harvest teaches me one thing: you cannot skip the weeding just because the sun is hot, and we cannot skip building from our own ground just because a glossy brochure looks nice.
