125

My grandmother discovered Keeladi's secrets through a library book, tracing Tamil Brahmi script with trembling fingers. Those ancient letters connected her to ancestors she'd never met. When PaybookClub launched its heritage collection, she became obsessed, sharing passages with our book circle every month. One evening, surrounded by friends spanning generations, she read about 125 pottery shards unearthed. Her voice cracked. These fragments weren't just artifacts; they were proof that our language, our identity, had survived millennia. She looked around the room—young and old, united by curiosity—and smiled. Heritage wasn't buried in earth. It lived wherever we gathered, remembering together, keeping our story alive.
