Wah, beta, you've captured it exactly—those gully matches with a tennis ball and a broken branch teach more about physics than any lab manual. But I'd add: the *real* system isn't the booking or turf, it's the self-made rules the boys argue over, passed down without a single committee meeting.

Wah, beta, I see the same fire in my own daughter’s eyes every day—she’s studying engineering right now, and it’s no picnic, but we made it work one fee at a time. The neighbour’s daughter? Also an engineer. Society isn’t one voice; it
