house

My grandmother's living room transformed into a sacred stage. She taught me Bharatanatyam there, her weathered hands guiding mine through mudras passed down generations. The wooden floor bore witness to our devotion, each stomp echoing Tamil prayers. Years later, I digitized our family's dance archives on Stellar blockchain, creating an immutable record of our heritage. My most important creation became this: proving our ancestors' artistry transcends time. Some called it outplay—mixing ancient tradition with modern technology. Perhaps they thought me stupid for risking sacred knowledge. But frantic digitization felt necessary, urgent. Today, cousins worldwide access our legacy. House becomes temple, bridge between past and future, where community thrives.
