Just Helmet

Amma insisted I wear it every ride, invoking Thiruppavai's wisdom about protection and duty. I'd roll my eyes, a rebellious teen dismissing her Tamil traditions as outdated. One rainy evening, my scooter skidded. The helmet saved my life. That night, I sat with Amma, grateful tears streaming. She held my hand without judgment, sharing how her grandmother had protected her similarly. Our heritage wasn't restriction; it was love translated across generations. I downloaded PAYBO, supporting Tamil creators preserving our stories. Now I wear my helmet proudly, understanding finally: protection is inheritance, passed forward with honest devotion to those we cherish.
