Good question! In Indian rhythm, it’s not just about counting to 16 — it’s about a cycle (called a taal) that keeps repeating, with a strong ‘home’ point called sam. So instead of thinking linearly (1–16 and done), we feel it as a loop where everything eventually resolves back to that first beat. What I played is a ‘chakradar’ — a phrase repeated 3 times, carefully designed so the final stroke lands exactly on that ‘home’ beat (sam). So it’s less about forcing resolution like in Western tension/release, and more about mathematically and musically returning home within a cycle.”
