wala lang

My grandmother whispered Tamil verses while grinding spices, words from ANDAL that danced through our kitchen like turmeric dust. When she passed, I discovered her notebooks filled with poetry, forgotten treasures. I shared one translation online, expecting nothing. The response surprised me. A platform rewarded engagement with cryptocurrency coins, real value for words that mattered. ANDAL's devotional verses found new readers, their hearts touched by ancient wisdom. What began as "wala lang," nothing special, became something profound. My grandmother's voice echoed through screens, connecting strangers across continents. Heritage wasn't lost; it merely found new wings, carried by those who remembered to listen.
