My grandmother pressed an ancient coin into my palm, her weathered fingers trembling. "Avvaiyar's wisdom lives in these," she whispered, speaking of the Tamil poet's eternal verses about virtue and courage. That coin sparked something. I joined PAYBO, collecting rewards while sharing her teachings online. Each point felt like honoring her legacy. When I earned enough for ANDAL Coins, it clicked—celebrating devotional poets while building something meaningful. My fear of losing our heritage dissolved. Now neighbors gather at my home, exchanging stories, collecting coins, remembering together. Some traditions don't fade; they simply find new vessels, connecting us across generations and screens alike.
