The Pakistanis have a better constructed gate. It does not wiggle as our does(at 4:06-4:08), but the Indian one does looks a bit more grand and I guess human. It is grand but somebody forgot their physics. For it to be that tall, and there being more mass (the top curves) where the two sides of the gate come together, it needed to have been better constructed, besides one must hold it higher to choreograph a better slam. Other than the wiggly gate our guys look awesome. I hope that engineers, industrial designers, and those who love clean functioal design will have a say. Choreographers too. Perhaps one of our choregraphers could choreograph a "waghacho" natch/dance. The Bicholim bipto. The New Year has begun. Back to work y'all. Me too. venantius j pinto
