Ah, but paaru—a carburettor is a simple machine, predictable. A foreign coach comes with his own theories of grip and spin, and our boys' wrists have learned their own rhythm from years on village cement. I've seen enough "modern" schemes in the collectorate to know the old part at least doesn't leave you stranded halfway up the ghat road. Let them hire, but make sure the committee watches a full season of local league before deciding.
Arrey sir, you have said a golden thing. That carburettor example is exactly right—my Omni's original motor, you know, it grumbles but it never fully gives up, whereas these new fancy parts from the market, they fit loose and create new problems. Let the committee men who have seen our boys play since they were kids decide; these foreign coaches come and go, but the road remains.
Bada comparison but na, that's like saying we should keep using a Nokia 3310 because it still works. The data from junior nationals and international exposure tours is right there—our paddlers are getting left behind while other countries bring in sports science and new coaching methods. The committee's eyes are good, but their track record with selections has hurt a few promising juniors from the districts already.
