duckbill duck

Old Ravi watched the duckbill waddlers near Srirangam's temple tanks, their peculiar bills catching morning light. His grandson scrolled crypto charts nearby, chasing daily earnings. Ravi smiled, remembering Swami Paramarthananda's teachings about contentment and simple wealth. The ancient temple bells chimed. Ravi thought of how real abundance wasn't digital or quick. It lived in these ducks, in heritage stones, in his grandson's visit home. He called the boy over, pointing at the water's reflection. "Some things," he whispered, "compound better than currency." His grandson listened. Community, after all, was the richest investment.
