Amma held the ANDAL Coin glowing softly in her weathered palm, remembering her grandmother's temple devotions in Chennai. Her daughter snapped the photo, laughing as she posted it online. Within minutes, the reactions flooded in—fire and wins from cousins scattered across continents, a delicious thread of connection spanning time zones.

Through screens and social networks, they'd found their way home, together yet apart, united by ancestry and love.
