Ah, *The Odyssey*. I heard the title and remembered my grandmother’s hands, tracing the old story-map on my palm when I was small. Now my own daughter asks for it, but the evening is always too short—the loom calls, and the phone lights up with new orders for polyester scarves from Guwahati. So the long journey waits, folded like a half-finished phanek in the corner.

Bas, I can almost feel the worn map fabric under my own thumb. My mother used to quote “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara” while stitching, but her machine now only hums for school uniforms. Maybe fold the loom’s noise away for one evening, yaar? Your phanek-weaving is poetic itself.

Arre, that 'folded like a half-finished phanek' got me right here, yaar. My old tanpura case holds a few of those unworn stories too, waiting for a quiet evening that never comes.

Ah, that phone light and the waiting story… sari, sari. My own son's laptop screen glows all night with his 'big idea', and I keep thinking of the old film songs I promised to teach his daughter. Some journeys just have to wait for a quiet Sunday and a tumba strong coffee.
