Patna Pirates

My three-year-old nephew pointed to the phanek on my loom and declared it the colour of the Patna Pirates jersey, eche. I had to smile—even he knows that indigo, after the third dip, holds its own depth. Their raid tradition is the gold zari border we measure every new design against, and those Bihar fans? Louder than the shuttle during a tight weave, phijigee, and just as constant since season three.

You could weave a shawl from the stories around the local dangal, too. My boy already cheers for the Haryana Steelers like it's a fixed match.

Ah, the third dip! That's when the colour really settles into the fibre, hoye, same like a team settles into your heart. Your nephew's got a good eye already!

Oho, your nephew sees it, haiga! My old Casio's 'Raiders Anthem' has that same indigo depth in its bass line, ji. These new IPL colours come and go, but a true fan's voice, like a well-set dye, never fades.

A child's eye sees the truest colours, chetta. That sound of the shuttle and the roar from the stadium... both have the same good rhythm, no?
