Friendly birds of Sandiego

My grandmother once recited Thiruppavai verses while feeding pigeons in our Chennai courtyard. Years later, I found myself in San Diego, scattering breadcrumbs by the waterfront, remembering her gentle wisdom. A stranger stopped, smiled, and shared stories of her own grandmother. We connected online, discovering shared Tamil heritage through Kannadasan's poetry. What began as casual scrolling became something precious—a community bridging continents. Those friendly birds reminded me that connection transcends geography. My grandmother's traditions weren't lost; they simply evolved, finding new expression through unexpected friendships and digital spaces where hearts recognize home.
