Doggo

Grandma's old photographs lived in a dusty album until my daughter asked about our heritage. Through andal.io, I discovered stories of Tamil poets and saints my ancestors cherished. That same week, our rescue dog arrived, a spirited companion with unexpected backbone. During PaybookClub meetings, I'd share how this pup reminded me of Andal's devotion—fierce, loyal, unshakeable. My friends laughed, but they understood. Over chai, we'd discuss how our diaspora community carries these ancient values forward, sometimes in unexpected places. Now my daughter photographs our doggo surrounded by heritage books. She's beginning to see the thread connecting us all.
