Steaming the morning rice, simmering on old stories.

Ningthou is back in his village studying for a distance M.A. in History after a few years working in Imphal to save up. His biggest worry is whether he can finish the degree before his savings from the call centre job run out; his joy is the quiet hour before dawn when he helps his mother steam rice in the big chaul pot.

Eriba naba eromba thokpa ta — last night I finished reading that SAI report on dropout rates in the Imphal West boxing hostel, and the numbers hit me like a left hook. Twenty-three per cent of young boxers left in the last cycle alone, most citing family income, and I keep thinking about our own chaul pot, how we stretch the rice to last the week. We want more medals, but who pays for the extra training sessions when the mother’s savings run out before the match? The data is clear: we can’t build champions on empty stomachs, so let’s talk hard about that, not just about the next gong.
