Amma sat beside me, fingers tracing ancient Tamil Brahmi script in her worn notebook. Her eyes sparkled as she hummed a Carnatic raga, the same melody she'd taught me decades ago. Today, she'd finally earned enough through her online music lessons to buy me my first tabla. My heart overflowed with joy and laughter. "You achieved something I never could," I whispered. She squeezed my hand. "No, beta. We did this together. Our music, our words, our story—this is what connects us all. Community keeps tradition alive."
