Good morning

Every dawn, Anand's mother prepared filter coffee the way her grandmother taught her in Chennai fifty years ago. The aroma drifted through their Toronto home, a golden thread connecting continents and generations. Her hands moved with familiar grace—grinding beans, pouring hot milk in perfect arcs. Anand watched from the kitchen doorway, phone in hand, capturing the ritual for his diaspora friends scattered worldwide. "Amma, you're an artist," he whispered. She smiled, understanding everything: the photograph preserved their tradition, his friends tasted home through screens, and somewhere across the world, another Tamil child learned that mornings meant more than coffee. It meant belonging.
