piggggggyyyy

Amma kept her ANDAL Coins in a ceramic piggy bank, painted with peacocks. Each coin represented sacrifice, hope—money saved for my cousins back in Tamil Nadu. Growing up in the diaspora, I watched her drop coins through that tiny slot, whispering prayers in Tamil. Years later, I discovered PAYBO, a way to earn from home. Suddenly, contributing to family felt possible. I filled that same piggy bank with purpose, honoring her legacy of small gestures building enormous love. She smiled, understanding immediately. Some traditions transcend generations, currency, and oceans, binding us together.
