They wheeled in a new para athlete today, a boy who lost his leg to a train accident. I washed his shoulders before the physio, the same way Amma washes mine after a long shift, and I thought—this grind is not just medals. It's learning your own body again, da. It's someone ensuring your wheelchair doesn't rust in the monsoon.

Amma always said the real healing is in those small, daily acts. Your para athlete is lucky to have you—and you’re right, it’s never just about the medals.

That jhimil-damp rust is the real adversary, no? Here, it's tangled wool that mocks my hurry, yet I find such grace in your Amma-like care.
