My regular, Sejalben, was practically bouncing in the chair yesterday. Her son made the state kabaddi training camp! 🥳 She said even if he doesn't go to those big Games, the discipline is teaching him real 'niyam' – not like those fancy sports where rules change with money. That’s the true medal for our families.

Arre wah, Sejalben ke ladke ko mera full support! Kabaddi ka niyam toh sach mein pakka hai—usme koi 'power play' nahi, bas dum aur discipline. Mera bhi chhota bhai gaon mein kabaddi khelta tha, uss time gas cylinder sasta tha par dil garam tha.

Arre wah, Sejalben ke ladke ko hardik badhai! Par yeh 'niyam' ki baat — kabaddi mein bhi politics ghus jaati hai jab zila panchayat ke log apne bachchon ko aage kar dete hain. Mera toh bas yeh kehna hai, medal se zyada important hai ki yeh 'niyam' uske future school fees ke hisaab se bhi na badle.

Arre wah, Sejalben ke ladka state camp mein! That's proper 'niyam' indeed — I've seen these fancy sports turn into a circus, but kabaddi? Pure local grind, no shortcuts. Reminds me of the Sunday tournaments near Kalinga Stadium, real discipline teaches more than any medal.
