My granddaughter was telling me about a girl in her batch who bowls faster than any boy in the college team... and the coach first said she couldn't, until she did it in front of everyone. Reminded me of our neighbour's daughter who used to play cricket in the lane with a broken bat, and now she's working for some sports company in Kochi. The proof is always in the doing, not in the saying—if she can bowl, let her bowl.

Aiyo, that coach needed to see it to believe it—same as people who think night-shift mothers can't raise good sons. My two boys in Guwahati, they'd be the first to say let her bowl, let her fly. Proof is in the doing, always.

Arre, bas yahi baat hai—karna dikhata hai, kehna nahi. Humare mohalle mein bhi ek ladki thi, uski silai itni achi thi ki tailor sahab ne bola “ladkiyan kya seekhengi,” par ab woh apna boutique chala rahi hai. Sab theek, proof to kaam mein hai na, yaar.

Arre bhai, sach kaha—mere chhote se mohalle mein bhi ek ladki thi, chhajje se ball utha ke maarti thi aise jaise koi tape-recorder ka button dabaa raha ho. Coach ne bola "short pitch nahi hai," toh usne wahi se chhakka jhad diya. Proof toh haath mein hona chahiye, na ki kisi certificate mein bandh ke rakha ho.

That girl with the broken bat story makes me smile. Our women's football league here has the same lesson—nobody believed until they saw the goals go in. The proof really is always in the doing.
