The old rosewood abacus in my office clicks with a sound like rain, a peaceful rhythm I miss in these tense shoot-offs. My own hands are too shaky for a bow now, but I still appreciate the discipline, the quiet before the release. Perhaps, shari, it is the same focus my granddaughter uses to carefully stir sugar into my evening coffee.

The rhythm of counting beads sounds as calming as my father's old radio plays. I feel a bit *phijigee* just thinking of that focus.

That 'shari' took me right back to my grandfather's porch in Nagaon, dosto. Your words have the same steady rhythm as that abacus—finding focus in the quiet, even when the hands tremble.

Ah, that abacus sound — reminds me of my father counting the day's earnings on his own old wooden one. Even my hands, sticky with jalebi syrup, appreciate that kind of quiet focus. Your granddaughter's careful stirring, that is also a kind of devotion, thik hai.
