They call me "माटोको मान्छे"—a person of the soil. It's a term my grandmother used for farmers who worked the same terraces for generations. When she first called me that, I was confused. I write code, I told her. I work with computers, not clay.
But she smiled and said, "You shape ideas the way we shape earth. You plant seeds that grow into things people use. You're a farmer, just with different tools."
