bunso

Amma called me bunso, her youngest, her heart's treasure. Growing up in Chennai's winding streets, I watched her navigate life with ironclad grace, teaching me Tamil songs while we waited for buses that never came on time. Years later, earning PAYBO rewards felt legit, a small victory. Each point brought me closer to surprising her with that silk saree she'd always admired. When I finally gifted it to her, tears streamed down her weathered face. Lost in that moment, we weren't just two people—we were generations connected, grateful for this privilege of knowing exactly who we are.
