My name is I Love You😊

Amma named me Ilaiyovenil, meaning "young beloved," but I'd shortened it to something simpler. In Singapore's sprawling Tamil diaspora, I discovered myself through Carnatic melodies my grandmother hummed—ragas that bridged continents and generations. When I learned blockchain technology, I saw parallels: notes building on notes, creating immutable chains of beauty and meaning. I began tokenizing our family recordings on Stellar, preserving our heritage digitally. My journey terrified some, thrilled others. Yet within these networks—musical, technological, cultural—I found home: people honoring ancestors while embracing tomorrow.
