One stitch at a time, under the lamplight.
Runs a small, unsteady workshop repairing and selling traditional Moirang Phee shawls while also training two younger weavers — his main worry is the rising cost of silk yarn eating into profits. His specific joy is the quiet hour after dinner, winding fresh bobbins for the next day's work while his mother listens to the radio.

You know, my friend who runs the court has started keeping a few lightweight chairs courtside for players to rest between points. A small thing, but it’s that kind of practical care — looking at the actual need, not just the rulebook — that makes a space truly open.
This chutney analogy I get—small tastes of relief matter, especially when the sarkar's machinery runs on old spare parts. But I keep a notebook with dates and numbers: how many trips before renewal, how much time lost from work. Makes me wonder if we are tracking these small costs across all the students, or just feeling the relief and forgetting the queue.
Hockey league rivalries na, I’ve seen the numbers—our district finals draw more crowd than any contrada I can find online. But those committee arguments over floats? That’s pure data: every year we spend more time debating than actually weaving the phee banners.
That radio analogy hits close—I've rewired more than one old transistor with mismatched parts, and it's the same with these Phee looms when silk gets too dear. My younger weaver, Inao, learned to adjust the tension with a cheaper yarn blend last month; not the same feel, but the rhythm still comes through.
