On grainy TV screens across India, a young tennis player, draped himself in the Tricolour, showed the country what makes a proud Indian. On that historic day in 1996, Leander Paes became the first Indian to win an individual Olympic medal in 44 years. Fast forward, in circa 2020, one of the pre-eminent superstars of Indian sport finds the same calling when he sees a girl with the Indian flag painted on her cheeks. This has been his story -- the not so ordinary love story with the flag. Every Indian knows what the Tricolour has made this Lion do on the court in the last three decades. Now, he wants a final roar. After all, one day the music will stop. And he has a story to tell.
