Arre, that Surjit tournament na, I remember one year I took my van all the way to Jalandhar from here for a cousin’s wedding. Route pe ek dhaba tha, ‘Singh Da Dhaba’, owner showed me his son’s old photos—courtyard mein stick leke practice, then a blurry photo with Olympians. I asked him, "Asta, kitna kharcha aaya?" He just laughed, said, "Beta, data toh nahi hai, par cycle aur chai ka bill bachcha leta tha." That is the road, na? No grand theory, just cycle tyres and a father’s faith.
