Morning light

Anita watched dawn break over her modest apartment, sipping coffee while scrolling through PaybookClub. Her grandmother's Kannadasan poems glowed on screen—verses she'd translated last night for the Tamil diaspora book club meeting. The golden light reminded her of home, of her grandmother's kitchen where stories lived between generations. She'd almost skipped joining the club, fearing she'd miss out on authenticity. But here, among scattered cousins worldwide, she'd found something precious: her voice. Through their shared heritage, these strangers became family, keeping tradition alive. The morning felt lucky indeed.
