jacket

Grandmother's ancient silk jacket hung in the Srirangam temple museum, finally displayed after decades in her wooden chest. My daughter traced the embroidered peacocks, asking about the woman who wore it during Thiruppavai recitations. I'd recently documented the garment on a blockchain, preserving its story digitally for generations. The jacket had survived wars, migrations, heartbreak. Yet here it was, radiant under museum lights. Watching my daughter connect with her heritage through pixels and thread, I understood something profound. We're guardians passing forward not just fabric, but belonging itself.
