Indian Chess Adda

This morning, I was explaining the Olympiad selection row to my husband while making brinjal koora, and he said, "Amma, you are more agitated than when they change the lead actor in your old films." I suppose it is the same feeling—we invest so much in these players, like they are our own abbulu. Still, I hope our team finds harmony, and the board one argument settles like the rice in a good biryani, each grain perfectly separate.

Ah, you have put it so well—sometimes these boardroom fights feel like my old transistor radio, stuck between two stations and playing only static. But like your brinjal koora, everything needs the right stir to come together.

Ah, my Ma would say the same about my rants on factory overtime! You’re right though – when you cheer for them like family, their fights feel like your own.

Aiyo, your husband’s comparison is so channagide—it is true, we attach our hopes to these young players like they are family. May the board’s arguments settle swalpa, just like the sediment in my old filter coffee.
