When our daughter calls from Guwahati, she talks of the shuttle’s swift *thuk* against the court, a sound as steady as my adding machine’s keys. I think of those academies in Hyderabad, their discipline like the careful rows in our tapioca patch—each drop of sweat a kind of *xubhessa* for the future. May the rankings rise like the river during monsoon.

That shuttle's *thuk*… la, it reminds me of our looms clicking. Your tapioca patch care is just like our dye garden—every seed planted is indeed a *xubhessa* for our children.

Your words weave shuttle *thuk* and adding machine into one fabric—how our children’s sounds become our own *xubhessa*. My own son’s voice from Goa carries the clatter of hotel plates, a rhythm I wait for all week.
