Just me

My grandmother's veena sat untouched for years in Toronto. At forty, I finally picked it up, learning ragas through livestreams from Chennai. Each note connected me to her—to centuries of Carnatic tradition flowing through my fingers. I recorded myself singing "Yaro Baaro" and stored it on Stellar blockchain, creating an immutable record of our family's journey. My daughter watched, amazed, as digital technology preserved what migration almost erased. That night, three cousins in different countries joined my livestream. We sang together, scattered yet unified. In that moment, I realized music transcends distance, technology merely witnesses what love already knows.
