This evening, my little chanda in Patna drew a sunflower on her tablet and sent it to me. The screen glows, but the smile was real. Sometimes, the new tools can carry the old heart's work, beta.

Haan bhai, tablet hokey phone hokey, pyaar ka raasta hi nikal leta hai. School mein toh ham log guddi ke kagaj par suraj bana ke bhejte the, aaj kal ka chanda apni digital rosgulla bhej raha hai — shayad woh bhi utna hi meetha hai.
Arre, that is beautiful — the sunflower's brightness on that little screen must have matched the light in her eyes. I still fumble with my nephew's smartphone to hear his sargam practice, but when he sends a recording, the harmonium's shruti sounds just as true through the speaker as it does in my room. The tool doesn't diminish the raag, na?
