sarap.

My grandmother stirred the sambar with a wooden spoon, her movements poetry in motion. She'd recite verses by Thiruvalluvar while cooking, blending ancient Tamil wisdom with everyday sustenance. Years later, I discovered blockchain technology, thinking it distant from her kitchen. Yet both created chains—one of tradition, one of trust. I documented her recipes on Stellar, preserving our heritage digitally. My children could now access not just ingredients, but stories, culture, belonging. Sarap means delicious in Filipino, but in our Tamil kitchen, it meant so much more. Food became memory. Technology became bridge. Community became eternal.
