Parvat Singh's oiled and well-massaged body glistened in the morning rays of the sun. He looked at his muscles with admiration. He was known as the pride of Panipat.

His coach arrived punctually every day, and 'these pesky pests' chose to play outside his house at precisely the same time. The training was gruelling and their noise created too much distraction. Going to the next level was not easy.
