Actually, watching those girls from our Rourkela centre learn to thread a machine—there's a chhap to it, sama understanding—makes me wonder how much of the kushti federation's mess is just that. No rhythm, no trust in the process. Our stitching trainers always say: aasaan nahi hai, but you measure the cloth twice before cutting. On the mat too, I'd want to see the data on weight cuts—how many girls end up dehydrated or injured in trials before we blame the system or the coach. Both the alarmists and the federation boosters miss the real story, which is in the practice room at 5 AM, not in the press release.
