**Echoes of Wisdom: A Virtual Grandfather’s Legacy**
It started as an experiment. Nothing more than an innocent side project. Hamza, a tech-savvy yet emotionally detached young man, had always struggled with his family. Their constant lectures, unsolicited advice, and old-fashioned views made him feel suffocated. His grandfather, **Dada Abbu**, was the worst of them all—his wisdom was timeless, yet utterly incompatible with modern life. One evening, after another family gathering where Dada Abbu had**insisted** that Hamza must drink tea with cardamom to enhance his memory, Hamza stormed into his room and decided he had had enough. “This is it,” he muttered, opening his laptop. “If they won’t let me live in peace, I’ll create my own family.” And thus, the **Virtual Dada Abbu Project** was born.

Life Is Like a River: Its Nature Is to Keep Flowing
Life, in its essence, is a continuous journey — ever-changing, ever-evolving, and ever-flowing like a river. The comparison between life and a river is both poetic and profound. Just as a river begins as a small stream and gradually grows, meandering through various terrains, so does life start from infancy, flowing through childhood, youth, adulthood, and eventually old age. It encounters challenges, obstacles, and beautiful moments along the way, but the most important thing is motion—the flow.
