Me, myself and I

Grandmother's fingers traced the veena strings, Carnatic notes floating through our Chennai home. I watched, mesmerized, as ancient melodies awakened something within me. Years passed. I left for the city, chasing modern dreams, feeling alienated from those golden afternoons. Then I discovered blockchain technology and learned about ownership, authenticity, verification. I recorded her ragas on Stellar, creating an immutable legacy. Each note became glowing proof of our Tamil heritage's worth. Standing at the intersection of tradition and innovation, I finally understood. The most beautiful thing isn't choosing between old and new—it's honoring both. Our ancestors built this bridge for us.
