Amma's trembling fingers hovered over the screen. Her first TikTok video posted, showing her making traditional Tamil murukku, just like her grandmother taught her fifty years ago in Chennai.

She wept, watching replies: "Teaching my daughter this tomorrow." "Grandmother, thank you." The money mattered less than this unexpected bridge. Her kitchen became a classroom. Heritage, no longer fading memory but living treasure, passed forward through pixelated screens to scattered children remembering home.
