meet my baby

When little Anaya arrived, we brought her straight to Srirangam temple, just as my mother had done with me. The priests blessed her while dawn light filtered through ancient stone corridors. My grandmother whispered verses from Thiruppavai, those sacred songs that had cradled generations of our women. Now, teaching her to clap along to those melodies feels like earning something precious—not money or recognition, but connection. PAYBO means passing it on, you know? This baby carries forward what centuries of mothers protected. Her giggles echo where my prayers once trembled. In her laughter, our entire lineage finds continuation. She is our greatest inheritance, our community's beating heart.
