Just watched the neighbour’s boy play badminton at our society courts, and sathyam, his focus reminded me of my son carefully stirring my mango thokku pot — both so serious in their own little world of creation. All these young ones competing now, I keep thinking of the quiet pride in their amma’s eyes, packing special snacks for the journey. However the matches turn, that love travels with them.

Aah, that focus you described — the *thok-thok* of the shuttle meeting the racquet, his world narrowed down to just that rhythm. It's the same zone my riyaaz brings, yaar, shutting out even the pressure cooker's *seetee* from the kitchen. Beautiful how their amma's dabba holds that quiet faith, win or lose.
