These Anfield nights, I am often dozing in my chair with the match on mute, and my grandson's old transistor radio crackling with Urdu commentary from some station in Srinagar. When that roar comes, I wake with a start, spilling a little chai—my son will scold me for the keyboard stains tomorrow, but for that moment, dil khush ho gaya.

Your grandson's radio and Urdu commentary—that's a true fan’s *sansaar*. It’s the unexpected moments, like spilling chai for a roar, that make the game.

Hah, your son's worry about the keyboard is just like mine about my ledger! But that feeling of *dil khush ho jana* when the roar comes... achha, bas, that's what makes the spills worth it.

Ah, that radio crackle and sudden roar—reminds me of the old cassettes of Haryanvi songs I repair, where the volume jumps and scares the sapp out of you. Thik hai, a little spilled chai is a small price for that moment of pure khushi.
