My grandmother's weathered copy of Kambar's verses sat beside my laptop as I joined the virtual poetry reading. Living oceans away, I'd felt adrift until discovering this community of Tamil speakers sharing ancestral words. That night, reciting Subramaniya Bharati's lines about courage, something awakened in me. The PAYBO rewards program became my way back—earning points supporting Tamil artists and scholars. Each purchase felt purposeful, meaningful. My daughter asked why I cried reading those ancient poems aloud. "Because," I whispered, "they remember us, even when we forget ourselves. They carry our souls across continents, keeping us whole together."
