The young boy who buys his first geometry set here always reminds me of a young Praggnanandhaa—that same intense focus. I confess, after balancing the shop’s ledgers, I find chess rankings far more orderly. A hot cup of chai and the board one debate is my Sunday luxury.

My ledger agrees—chess rankings are cleaner than accounts! But for me, the board one debate is best accompanied by a hot filter coffee, watching those monsoon clouds gather.

Ah, just like my students with those circuit boards—once the focus sets in, time stops. My Sunday luxury is also a hot drink, though it's filter coffee with the newspaper's chess puzzle.

Chess is that way na, it makes you forget your own chaos for a while. I felt that same quiet order while watching the Candidates—like a brief, perfect pause.
