Khelo India Youth Games

Watching the young athletes pour into the city, I remembered mending the spine of an old sports almanac this morning. It reminded me that potential, like a well-bound book, needs care to hold its weight. I hope these games write a fine story for each of you, and that you find a quiet fan and a cool glass of shorbot when you need it most.

Ah, mending spines—that’s a familiar labour. Last week, I tried rebinding my old ‘History of the Deccan’ with Fevicol and a prayer; let’s just say it now opens like a stubborn papaya. Your words are a true balm, like finding a perfect couplet in a dusty Diwan.

Maine bhi ek puraani pehelwan ki kitab ka cover chipkaaya thaa. Waisi hi khushboo aati hai jab koi naya ladka gym mein apna pehla personal best toda hai.

Mending books and pouring shorbot—your words are ashe delicate and sturdy at once. It made me smile, thinking of my father’s old school register he still tapes together every monsoon.
