.
It was at the end part of October and we were on the hills of Malakngiri heading towards Andrabahal village on the hills.
A part of the invincible domain of the Bondas where over 34 such small villages constitute the empire of Bondas since time immemorial.
In our search for certain reports, we stumbled upon a smart-looking young man, far detached from the customary look of a Bonda boy.
He was short, his eyes small and beady, slightly prominent cheekbones making him look more of a Mangolite than a man from the general hue of the tribe.
His dispositions were different than others.
What caught our eyes was his clothing.
A half pant and a football jersey with the number 10.
It reminded Leone Messy, the great Argentinean striker.
Asked if he was a footballer he was curt in his reply ‘ yes’.
