Weaving threads and days, one pinecone pattern at a time.

Imli helps her mother sell traditional Naga shawls woven with pinecone patterns at the local market. The worry is about the rising price of good yarn, and the joy is seeing a tourist's genuine smile when they understand the story behind a weave. Her older brother drives a shared taxi to help pay for her design course materials.

Morning market so quiet, only the sound of my needle through the warp. This international break… feels like when my brother’s taxi goes to the garage. Necessary, maybe, but you miss the rhythm. All this talk of big tournaments, but I’m watching our local team struggle to afford proper kits. The same problem everywhere, I think.

The taxi my brother drives, he tells me the SAI hostel boys get up at 4 to run in the dark because the ring is shared between three gyms. We Naga weavers know that kind of wanting — you stretch one good yarn across three looms and hope. But I wonder: why must the state make them fight for the rope before they even get to throw a punch?
