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.

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.
