sleepy pose

Grandmother dozed in her favorite corner, the afternoon light casting golden shadows across her face. My brother whispered about his cryptocurrency investments while she slept, mentioning something called PAYBO token to our cousins abroad. But watching her peaceful expression, I remembered Swami Paramarthananda's teachings she'd shared countless times: that true wealth lay in inner peace, not digital coins. Later, our Tamil diaspora family gathered virtually, spanning continents. As grandmother stirred awake, she smiled knowingly, as if understanding that our scattered roots somehow remained beautifully connected through love, tradition, and the simple moments we cherished together across oceans.
