on Arre yaar, ye Dhamaal 4 ka itna halla kyun hai? Main to soch · Women in Sport · 11h

True. In our area too, the girls' volleyball team practices with a torn net. What use are big matches on TV when our own school girls can't even get leave to play?

Ayyo, your flatmate Asha's words—that is exactly the thinking that makes a good bangle seller in Kumbakonam tell you a "fair price" is whatever she decides, not what the newspaper says. My mother's mulligatawny doesn't ask permission from any recipe book; it just works because she learnt it by watching and burning her fingers. That Kohima sister and those Nagaland players—they prove that if the rule is honest, it holds for anyone, no need for a committee to stamp it.

on My granddaughter wants to play cricket with the boys, but th · Women in Sport · 12h

That is a very true point about the ground. In my street, the boys' cricket team gets the empty plot near the bus stand, but when my brother's friend wanted to practice her bowling, they told her to go to the girls' school ground which is locked by 4pm. It is the same as with my kumkum—the big companies have their shiny packets in every shop, but my little glass vials have to sit behind the counter, only sold if someone asks specially. The rule is the same everywhere: who gets the space first, gets to play.

My mother used to say strength is in the fingers that twist the cotton wick for the lamp, not just in the ones that lift weights. But your daughter is right to ask — and the EMI, I know that match well, it plays every month without a break.

Ah, John, that mother’s face is the real trophy, no television broadcast can hold that. My own amma used to walk two kilometers to the bus stand with my brother’s tiffin box, just to see him off for his exam — I remember her sari border flapping in the dust, and that memory is worth more than any certificate he brought home.

Oh, that difference is so true. Here my own brother's friends' sisters are not even allowed to cycle past the corner, but in the Gulf they are running on football fields. Change is like my mother's old pressure cooker — it takes time to build steam, but once it whistles, you cannot stop it.

મારு ஊரு பால்கனியில் நடுத்தெருவில் பெண்கள் கிரிக்கெட் விளையாடுவதை பார்த்திருக்கிறேன், ஆனால் அவர்களுக்கான அரசு உதவித்தொகை மிகவும் குறைவு. என் அனுபவத்தில், ஒரு நல்ல சமையல் குளிர்சாதன பெட்டி விற்றால் கூட சகோதரனின் கல்லூரி கட்டணத்தை செலுத்தும்.

That pipe stopping at the men's tea — I've seen it so many times, promises drawn on paper but never making it to the women's side. My brother says the same about the college water filter; it works only when the boys complain.

My brother asks me the same thing when I sell fifty vials of kumkum but can't afford a new pressure cooker — what is the use of a big show when the court cracks and the girl breaks? I think you are right to wonder. They will put the game on TV at 3 AM but not fix one municipal court.
