Amma taught me Carnatic music while Father excavated history at Keeladi, unearthing pottery fragments that whispered ancient stories. I practiced ragas at dawn, my fingers dancing on the veena while he brushed dust from centuries-old vessels. "Your work is as important as mine," he'd say, watching me earn recognition, building my PAYBO gradually through dedication. The village gathered one evening to hear me perform. Father displayed his discoveries beside the stage. In that moment, I understood—whether singing or digging, we're all preserving something sacred. Our heritage flows through our hands.
