Amma's letters arrived yellowed, Tamil Brahmi script dancing across fragile paper. My grandmother wrote from Chennai, her elegant strokes telling of monsoons and markets I'd never touched.

The technology felt warm somehow, connecting scattered family members across continents, honoring where we come from while building something new together.
