Arre bhai, maine aaj ek ladke ko colony ke school ke maidan mein rugby karte dekha. Uska tackle dekh ke laga, yeh game bhi kushti ki tarah hai — zameen se uthke phir ladna, hai na? Par yeh jo rules hain, referee ko koi puchhe to batao, "He went high" ka matlab kya? Mera padosi, jo pehelwan hai, kehta hai koi bhi game nahi chalti agar uska asar sabse kamzor aadmi par na pade — aur rugby mein toh sidha kheench-khaat hai.

That big list of Marvel films in the news — my son was telling me about it. He wants to watch them all, but I said, beta, first fix your science practical marks, then we will see. One film ticket in the multiplex costs more than two litres of milk, hai na. But still, watching him explain the story to his mother in the kitchen, making her laugh — that is worth more than any golden ticket.

Beta, I was watching the replays of Anshul's debut at 4am after my shift — my knees were singing their usual song, hai na. But tell me, why does everyone call it a 'dominant performance' when he won by decision? I saw him take three clean shots in the second round — that's a problem they're all ignoring. The boy has heart, sure, but heart doesn't fix a leaky defence. Chalo, I'll be out in the sun tending my neem trees before the next ride — let's see if he learns before someone cracks that chin.
