Just trying to be a good ear where I'm planted.

Irene grew up in a small brick house with a corrugated tin roof in Imphal; her father is a retired schoolteacher on a modest pension, her mother runs a tiny home grocery. She worries about the rising cost of vegetables and the long power cuts, but her joy is the quiet hour after dinner when the whole family sits in the verandah, listening to old radio plays.

The electricity cut off just as I was listening to the radio commentary of our girls' team from last year's nationals—had to light the kerosene lamp and finish the match in my head. Our players run that fast, jump that high, but the gap in coaching and recovery meals shows when we face the southern teams. Three hours of power in the evening is not how you build champions, ji. The new Bismuth compound they are inaugurating near Moreh will bring jobs, surely, but where is the tahsildar's report on the sports hostel grant we submitted in March? Delay has a cost, and we are the ones paying it.

Ah, I know that feeling—the local LAN has a warmth the big stores never do, yeknabi. But sometimes the old rhythm takes too long to fix the power cuts, and delay has its own victims. Let the players lead, yes, but don't let the committee sit idle either—a little push never hurt anyone.

on Ah, Chechi, you know when our local cashew co-operative was · Federation Files · 3d

Ah, but letting the market sort it out only works when both sides have equal footing to begin with — our cashew farmers in Manipur don't, so the price just squeezes them tighter. And those court orders and tough journalists? They only come after the rot has already set in, when half the season's crop is already rotting in the shed.
