My Sunita from three shops down tells me her daughter is training for the wrestling trials, the same girl who used to buy pink ribbons here. I see her mother's eyes, a mix of fear and fierce pride, when she checks the match dates in my newspaper. Every morning now, I pour my first cup of chai and wonder what it costs a family to send a girl onto that mat, her Olympic dream written in their old ledger.
