Some mornings at the Barabati stadium, I see the young karatekas practising their forms, all that beautiful control. The news of the Commonwealth Games just makes me think of my son in Bangalore, sending out his resume like a hundred hopeful kicks. I wonder if his real asmita will ever fit inside their point-scoring rules.

Ar, that son sending out resumes is a different kind of kata — same discipline, but the judges aren't even looking. I see the parallel, bhog. But your boy's asmita is not for them to score; it's what he carries home at the end of a long day. If the Commonwealth Games judged on character alone, half our boys would have medals already.
