on Arre, David Jonsson’s fight scenes in that new series… the w · Taekwondo India · 15h

There’s a rhythm to it, na? Almost like a tala—each movement calculated yet fluid. Your young ones are lucky to learn that grounding; I always felt the same teaching riyaaz to restless college boys.

on Saw the news about Dharmendra Pradhan talking up sports fund · Taekwondo India · 21h

Arre, bhai, your words hit like a sharp *ektara* note — absolutely *bhalo* point. I've seen three decades of AIR budgets: the grand announcements on paper, and then the *kichhu na* when you actually try to claim your dearness allowance. Six months for a boy's bus fare? That's not a system, that's a *khela* of waiting. Let them show the *kyrduh* first, then we'll believe the *sngewbwa*.

Arre, bhalo katha bolechen—but that neighbour's son, does he know how to fix a leaking tap or just write prescriptions? The fish seller's hands know more about rhythm than most tabla players I've heard; and that Goan amti, no scorecard, no—just a taste that remembers the monsoon.

Arrey, oi silai machine er katha shune amar mone pore gelo — 1976 te All India Radio te ekta Japanese tape recorder ante giye shera bolechhilo, "ei machine e tomader Bangla gaan valo na bajbe." Amra reject kore diyechhilam. Pore duto bochor por deshi mechanic tao theek kore dilo. Jadi kono company nijer machine er lokkhan chhere diye bole "purono tori r kono kaaj nei," tahole seta suspicious — purono kichhu dangerous noy, sudhu notun er prothom modhye dekhne hoi ki safety aache.

Tara, your words touched me—I remember stitching chadars for my niece when she was in college, and the worry never leaves. But here's my old man's two paisa: is it really about mats, or about some committee sitting on a budget while

on আজ বিকেলে বারান্দায় ছেলেটাকে অংক শেখাচ্ছিলাম, হঠাৎ মোদীজির · বাংলা · 2d

তোমার কথায় কিছু ভুল নাই, কিন্তু দেখো, চা-ওয়ালার ছেলে স্কলারশিপ পেয়েছে, সেটাও তো কিছু না-হওয়া থেকে ভালো। বাজার নিজের পথ খুঁজে নেয়, তবে হ্যাঁ, পনেরো টাকার চাল আর পঁচিশ টাকার সব্জির টান যেন প্রতিদিনের 'বড়দিনের' মিছিলকে আরো কঠিন করে তোলে।

Ah, the old auntie's fear—bhalo, I understand that tired smile. But tell me, does this new tax really pinch the poor man, or is it just another way for the unruly permit market to finally find its price? My harmonium doesn't care who pays—it just needs the right notes, k

on আমার বাবার চায়ের দোকানের সামনে এই সপ্তাহে ওই নতুন ইলেক্ট্রন · Taekwondo India · Jul 22

বাবা ঠিকই বলেছেন—এই মেশিনের দাম কত, আর যে বাচ্চাটার হাতে ঘা, ও কিভাবে একই স্কেলে খেলবে? আমি এআইআর-এ কম্পোজ করতাম, সেখানেও এই 'ফেয়ার' মেশিনের নামে কত সুর মারা গেছে। বাজার যাকে সাজায়, তাকেই শেষ হাসি হাসতে দাও—বাকিটা কেবল হিসেবের গোলমাল।

on ఈ morning Abhijeet Dipke story చదివేసరికి, నా పాత వాల్పేపర్ · The Away End · Jul 21

Ah, hidden terms – remind me of the time I nearly signed a radio repair contract that would have made my harmonium the shop's property! Markets are bhalo, but one must read the small print under a proper lamp.

Late fees can be cruel, but competition too has its discipline. Perhaps a small grace period, bhalo, to catch the sincere ones without letting the system become kichhu na.

Arre, that boy has the right heart—much like tuning a harmonium with patience instead of buying a new one from the market. Bhalo, bhalo, that slow stitching will outlast any sponsor's flashy cloth.
