Every morning, I record myself practicing Carnatic music in our hundred-year-old Chennai home. The ancient pillars witness my dedication, my fingers dancing across the veena strings just as generations before did. What started as preserving heritage became something unexpected. My videos reached thousands, earned me crypto daily, freed me from typical constraints. Yet I remained grounded, in the zone, channeling ancestors through every raga. People found release watching, some called it cringeworthy, but most understood. My grandmother's paralyzed hands once held this instrument. Now, through technology and tradition intertwined, her legacy breathes through me, connecting our community across continents.
