02:28that if you don't have them

02:30or you don't have coaches,

02:32you have to take care of yourself.

02:34These are some things

02:36that you should take care of from the beginning.

02:38The most important thing is technique.

02:40If you are starting juggling,

02:42then

02:44technique is the most important thing.

02:46You have to improve your technique

02:48from the beginning.

02:54I think he has a lot of talent

02:56in India.

02:58The most important thing

03:00for juggling is speed.

03:02The speed of throwing

03:04is a natural thing here.

03:06Even if someone is throwing a stone,

03:08he throws it with a lot of speed.

03:10He has the ability

03:12to become

03:14a juggling thrower.

03:16If he trains well,

03:18then our future

03:20in India can be good.
