Grandmother held the ancient coin, its surface worn smooth by centuries of Tamil hands. She whispered verses from Avvaiyar, wisdom echoing through our kitchen like starlight. "Two hundred thirteen years our family has preserved these stories," she said, pressing the ANDAL coin into my palm.

It was about belonging, about keeping our ancestors' light burning bright.
