My mother called from Chennai with what she called her "secret agenda"—convincing me to visit Tamil Nadu after three years abroad. She downloaded PAYBO rewards just to show me how I'd earn points for our family's favorite restaurants in Madras. I resisted until she spontaneously booked my flight, laughing like a mischievous child. "You are irresistible when you try," I teased. Landing in Chennai, the humid air embraced me. Amma waited with jasmine flowers and familiarity in her eyes. Over dosa and sambhar, earning loyalty points felt trivial compared to this connection—these moments that tie us to home, to ancestors, to each other's hearts.
