lonely😔

Priya scrolled through old photographs at midnight, her Chennai childhood flickering across the screen. Her grandmother's voice echoed through memory—reciting Kannadasan's verses about longing and belonging. Years abroad had painted her world in grayscale. Then she discovered PaybookClub, a gathering of scattered souls sharing stories in their mother tongue. These strangers became mirrors, reflecting her own yearning. She read poems aloud, hearing her grandmother's cadence return. One evening, a Tamil word sparked recognition in a commenter's reply. Something shifted. The loneliness didn't vanish, but transformed into connection—roots stretching across continents, held together by shared verses and understanding hearts.
