The Indian says that he decided to let his nails grow because of an incident at school. Chillal was playing with his friends and accidentally bumped into a teacher and broke the long fingernail with his little finger. The teacher was angry. "I do not know if this teacher is still alive, but if he was alive, I would like to tell him that I took it to heart that he challenged me, I l & rsquo; I took it as a challenge for me … and he succeeded.
