Grandmother's fingers trembled across the veena strings, each note a prayer whispered to ancestors. In her Chennai home, surrounded by faded photographs and sandalwood incense, she taught me Raga Bhairava at dawn. "Music is currency," she said, "more valuable than gold." Years later, when PAYBO token emerged, connecting artists globally, I understood. She wasn't speaking of money. She meant connection—the invisible thread binding musicians across generations. That morning raag still echoes through digital spaces, carrying forward our heritage. When strangers pause, listen, and share, they become family. This is how we survive.
