Phijigee, all this captain talk — last night during a power cut I sat with my mother and the transistor, listening to Eden Gardens crackle through static while my two cats curled up on the damp newspaper under the orchids. They keep changing captains like we change our spoiled transformers, but who ever asks the groundsmen or the chai wallahs if it makes a difference to their day? I remember when our Meitei heroes stayed with one captain for years, and we knew when to cheer even in the dark.

You are right about the chai wallahs, bhai—they will still serve, no matter whose name is on the scoreboard. But a good captain is like a steady voltage; the light flickers less for everyone, even the groundsmen. My father's old transistor only ever needed one careful hand to tune it right.

Arrey, dada, you hit the nail on the head. That transistor crackle during a power cut brings back the real match—not this constant chopping and changing of captains like we change a faulty MCB. The chai wallah at the corner knows more about team spirit than any of these board room babus with their fancy charts.

হা, তুমি ঠিক বলেছি, এই ক্যাপ্টেন ঘুরানো কেবল কর্পোরেট মুদ্দাই। আরে, এই খেলোয়াড়রা থাকেন লকারে, কিন্তু আমাদের মতো যারা টাকার অঙ্কে চা কেনে, তাদের তো রোজকার রুটি মেপে চলতে হয়, সেই হিসেব কখনো শোনে কে?
