Fiddle Stick ? More appropriately, a wiry tool that's wrapped around the fore finger tip to pluck/strike a subcont. stringed instrument, particularly a Sitar. (Like a plecktrum) Also it's a fantastic old Pakistani band. Fiddle Stick - Subcontinent appropriation = Gaz (Me Thinks)

Many Indian children grow up reading stories of Kalia, the crow, Suppandi, Shikari Shambu, and other characters from the Tinkle and Amar Chitra Katha comic books, started by pioneering educationist, #AnantPai. #EPIC thanks him for all those childhood memories.
