My little boss

Every morning, five-year-old Arun sits beside me while I scroll through social media. Today, he points at Avvaiyar's wisdom verses on my screen, demanding I read them aloud. His infectious curiosity transforms mindless scrolling into meaningful moments. He's become my little boss, redirecting my attention toward what truly matters. While others chase likes and cash incentives online, Arun reminds me of Thiruppavai's deeper messages about devotion and compassion. His innocent questions about ancient poetry reconnect me with our heritage. In teaching him, I'm rediscovering myself. Our shared learning becomes our greatest social currency—love, passed between generations, building bridges in our community.
