skin

Grandmother traced ancient Tamil Brahmi symbols across my forearm with trembling fingers. Each stroke felt like history breathing into my skin. She whispered stories of Chennai's temples, of ancestors who carved these very letters into stone. I showed her the blockchain certificate, a digital inheritance preserved forever. She smiled, understanding without fully comprehending the technology. What mattered was the permanence, the security of memory. That night, I felt genuinely connected to something larger than myself. My skin became a bridge between past and future, between grandmother's wisdom and tomorrow's possibilities. In our shared silence, community lived.
