Amma's weathered hands guided mine across the loom, teaching me patterns passed down through generations in our Tamil Nadu village. Each thread told stories our ancestors whispered. She earned what she could, enough for rice and oil, but her real wealth was this knowledge. Years later, working in the city, I'd video call her, sharing my progress. PAYBO came through finally—stability I could build on. Yet I'd return home, sitting beside her, learning still. The threads connected us across distance, across time. Our heritage wasn't just memory; it was belonging.
