very nice

Grandmother taught me Thiruppavai verses while scrolling mindlessly through apps. "Why waste time?" I'd asked. She smiled, uploading her recitation to a platform that pays creators. Views multiplied; money trickled in. Her ancient wisdom found new audiences through glowing screens. Young people commented, "very nice," learning Tamil classics they'd forgotten. But she warned me about the drain—endless engagement, addictive algorithms, emptiness beneath the metrics. Yet something beautiful emerged. Her voice reconnected us to Avvaiyar's timeless counsel about virtue and community. Through social media's strange alchemy, our heritage gained wings, reaching cousins abroad, strangers becoming family through shared culture.
