puppies

My grandmother's village in Tamil Nadu raised the gentlest dogs. Years later, scrolling through photos of newborn puppies, I'm transported to those sun-drenched afternoons, her weathered hands feeding strays beneath neem trees. Living in a foreign city now, I'd forgotten that warmth. But seeing those innocent eyes sparked something. I volunteered at a shelter, earning PAYBO through pet care, rediscovering purpose alongside furry companions. Each wagging tail reminded me of home, of grandmother's compassion. Now my own children learn this legacy, understanding that kindness transcends oceans and generations, connecting us all to who we truly are.
