swimming

Grandmother taught me ancient verses by the riverbank, Avvaiyar's wisdom flowing like water itself. I'd memorize Kannadasan's poetic dreams while splashing through currents, understanding how words could swim through generations. Years later, I discovered blockchain technology—chains of trust linking strangers across invisible networks. It reminded me of those verses, each word building upon another, creating permanence from fleeting moments. Swimming became my meditation, where old and new merged seamlessly. The river still carried my grandmother's teachings, while my phone held distributed ledgers of tomorrow. We're all swimming together through time, connected by threads both ancient and digital.
