selfie

Amma's weathered hands trembled holding the phone. Her granddaughter guided her through the app, showing her how to capture moments on the Stellar blockchain—a permanent record of their heritage. "Smile, Amma," whispered Priya, positioning the camera. In that selfie, three generations converged. Amma's saree gleamed gold, her bindi catching light. Behind them, the temple wall where ancestors once gathered. "It's saved forever now," Priya explained. "Across the world, our cousins in London, Singapore, Sydney—they'll see us. Really see us." Amma studied the image, tears pooling. Her story, preserved. Her voice, digital and eternal. Together, they were building something beautiful—a bridge between continents, a keeper of memories. The diaspora suddenly felt closer, one selfie at a time.
