My grand daughter

When Kavya sent me money through the app, I wept. My granddaughter, studying far away, remembered her struggling grandmother. She'd learned Avvaiyar's verses about generosity—how the ancient poet gave everything to others. The notification relief washed over me. I could buy medicines, pay rent. But Kavya's true gift wasn't digital rupees; it was remembering who she was. That evening, I recited the old Tamil poems to her over video call, her young face glowing with recognition. She understood now—wealth means nothing without roots, without passing forward what ancestors gifted us. Our family's unbeaten spirit lived on through her.
