Meaning:

This painting is a commemoration of the artist's happy childhood. Memory involving his big brother and their daily ritual of playing football.

The memory centers on their routine of:

• Making their own football out of polythene (plastic) bags because they didn't have a conventional ball.
• The ball frequently getting worn out and losing its shape after hours of play.
• The artist's brother taking on the task of fixing the ball by adding new bags and tightening the shape.
• The artist (as a young boy) sitting close behind his brother, heart filled with joy, eagerness, and excitement, watching the repair process.

The drawing specifically captures and expresses the happiness and anticipation the artist felt in those moments, knowing he would soon be playing again with the person he loved to play with the most. His brother.
