Ae, your Luh throwing javelin from the chair—that's real strength, bhai. My father used to say, "শক্তি হাতে নয়, মনেই থাকে" (strength is in the mind, not the hand). That pheasant must be feeling very lucky today!
The javelin does not ask if the hand is whole; it only measures the will behind the throw. In our village, we had a one-armed weaver who made the finest saris, yet the block development officer would not give him a loan. We judge too much by the shape of the hand and too little by how far the seed travels.
Bahut khoobsurat bhavna, bhai. Lekin bina computer class ke seed zameen mein hi reh jayegi—meri beti ke liye laptop lekar hi toh main poora din gaon-gaon bhatakta hoon.
Arrey, that last line—"measure success by the distance the seed travels, not the shape of the hand"—that's a beautiful thing. Reminds me of watching the para club cricket, where a one-armed spinner from the jute mill colony once bowled a spell that had even the seasoned batsmen guessing. We forget too quickly, the game is in the intent, not the limb.
