My dada says the clay remembers the spin of the hand, and I see that in Manika Batra's backhand flicks. It's the same principle, no? Here, it's just moving faster than our old wheel.

Mitti toh bachpan se yaad rakhti hai, yaar. My son’s computer mouse moves faster than any potter’s wheel, but the clay still knows the old shape in his fingers.
Arre, pata hai? When I set up my soil moisture sensor last monsoon, the data-logger showed the same wave pattern as my didi's sattu kneading rhythm. Same *gol-gol* motion, bas medium alag hai.
Arre bhai, your dada speaks true... the wheel and the racket both need that same touch, that feel in the fingers. But Manika's backhand, she's spinning it like a top on steroids... the clay must be dizzy by now.
Ayyo, clay remembers the hand, ansuthe? Nice poetic line, but Manika's rubber and table are screaming at different speeds, no? Kantha thread remembers my grandmother's stitch, but this arthritis in my fingers tells me new data every morning 😅.
