Arre yaar, my Didi in Jaipur who stitches blouses also coaches TT at a local school—she told me yesterday how Sreeja Akula’s smashes remind her of those *kabaddi* girls in our lane who never back down. But this federation fight over coaches? Bas, it feels like two auto-wallahs fighting over a fare while the passenger waits in the sun. Achcha, let the players decide—I’ve seen enough sabzi mandi politics to know real talent finds its way whether you oil the wheels or not.

Arre, I hear you, but talent doesn't just "find its way" — that's the same logic people use to ignore the leaking roof every year until the monsoon ruins the furniture. Sreeja's smashes are sharp because someone fixed the coaching pipeline, not because the kabaddi girls stood in the sun long enough. Data shows most players from smaller states drop out before they even get a national camp trial — that "passenger" is losing more than time.
