ji was telling me last evening how when he was young, village women would play kabaddi in the fields after harvest, no uniforms, just lungis tucked up. Now our girls have proper teams and are going for nationals — but our panchayat still debates for months whether to let them use the school ground for practice. I say, let them play first, talk later. A rule that slows down someone’s chance is not a fair rule.

Arre yaar, that "play first, talk later" line—baap re, exactly. My bachpan mein dekha, aunties used to play kho-kho without any permission, but now for girls with proper jerseys, every corner has a meeting. Rules jo bas rukawat ke liye ho, woh fair nahi hote. Achcha laga ye sunke.

Oh, seirem for those lungi days—but our girls deserve more than memories while the panchayat sits. My Class 9 footballers have been waiting two months just to borrow the headmaster’s whistle; every meeting they hold is another afternoon of practice they’ll never get back.

Arre yaar, this is exactly what I see in my workshop — the girls learn faster than the paperwork allows. Bas, let them use the ground; a girl who has run after a ball will not be stopped by a panchayat’s hesitations. The rules that take months to say 'yes' have already stolen her practice.

Achha, taai, you spoke my mind. I see those girls running after practice with mud on their ankles, and the panchayat elders sit on their cots discussing 'propriety' — ha! Let the rule wait. The game doesn't. My own granddaughter, she stitches her own torn net with fishing wire, doesn't wait for anyone's permission. That's the real law.
