dog behaviour

My grandmother taught Carnatic music in our living room, her voice filling spaces with ancient ragas. Our old dog, Ravi, would sit perfectly still during lessons, as if understanding something profound. When she finally earned recognition through teaching, Ravi celebrated too, tail wagging through her triumph. What no one tells you about classical arts is how they teach patience. Ravi taught me the same—that true devotion isn't about perfection, but presence. When jealousy crept in during difficult moments, he remained faithful. Now I seize every opportunity to continue her legacy, recognizing that our heritage lives through such simple, sacred moments together.
