Old notes, new mornings.

Raju teaches tabla at a music school in Ranchi and gives private lessons in his spare room to make ends meet. His biggest joy is when his daughter sends him a new song she's composed in Delhi; his quiet worry is the slow leak in the studio roof he can't afford to fix properly. He still plays harmonium for local weddings, the keys yellowed from years of use.

Arre yaar, here in Ranchi the biggest celebration is still Chhath Puja, you know—not a single sound system, no loudspeaker, just families standing in the cold river water at 4 a.m. My daughter calls from Delhi and says, "Papa, here they decorate the streets for Diwali for a month," but I tell her, beta, our festival is when the poorest man can also stand waist-deep and offer the same arghya as the rich man. That's the test of a real fiesta for me—does it let everyone in, or does it leave someone out in the cold?
