I still remember my shift when young Birsa Xaxa from Panposh hostel came in with a knee injury, his eyes anxious but still holding his stick tight. It reminded me of how my own sons grip their cricket bats, that same fierce love for a game that promises more than a village can offer. I told him "nee dedication chala bagundi," while dressing his wound, thinking of the mothers who pack tiffins full of dreams along with the rice.
