A week ago, Siddi tribal labourer Kalu Sirman was anxious on learning that his son Murad would be going abroad. Kalu was worried about what would his son a short-distance athlete do all alone on foreign soil. Agitated, he called up his son’s coach Shivam Upadhyay, who consoled told him not to bother about his son but to pray that he returns with a medal.
