Maya returned to Srirangam after years away, clutching her phone awkwardly. The ancient temple's towers pierced golden sunlight as pilgrims moved like river currents around her. An elderly woman, reminiscent of Kannadasan's poetry about devotion, smiled and guided her through marble corridors. That evening, Maya nearly posted about the experience online, seeking validation through likes. But watching her grandmother pray silently, fingers touching worn stone, she understood something deeper. Real richness wasn't captured in pixels or currency. She pocketed her phone and sat beside her, breathing the incense, belonging to something timeless and true.
