Songs — index
The running list. A song graduates left-to-right: lyrics → chords → singable together (we've all sung it at least once and it worked). Add a row the moment a song gets suggested; don't wait until it's ready.

Learning shelf — want them in the book, don't yet have the full words or a version we agree on:
- A Kannada children's rhyme everyone half-remembers — ask Ajji for the real words
- A short Sanskrit shloka simple enough to sing (a two-line prayer, not a whole stotram)
- A Hindi lullaby for bedtime — needs a version we all know
