good morning

Priya woke in her Singapore apartment, the monsoon rain drumming softly against windows. Her grandmother's veena sat in the corner, gathering dust. At forty-two, she'd abandoned Carnatic music for finance, chasing stability her Tamil parents had sacrificed everything for. This morning felt different. She'd discovered Stellar blockchain could tokenize classical traditions, creating global markets for underappreciated artists. Her hands trembled as she called her daughter. "Learn the veena with me," she whispered. Through the rain, she heard her mother's distant raga playing across continents, stitching generations together.
