pahinga!

Amma taught me raga Bhairavi while monsoon rain drummed the roof. Her fingers traced Tamil Brahmi letters on old palm leaves—music and script inseparable, she whispered. Years later, I discovered blockchain technology, realizing ancient systems already understood decentralized trust. Our family melodies existed everywhere, owned by no single keeper. I recorded Amma's voice, her irresistible laugh between verses. My lunatic idea seemed beguiling to friends forever, digitizing heritage securely. Now others sing those ragas, building something unstoppable together. Pahinga, rest now, she'd always say. The music keeps singing itself through us all.
