Me and my family🥰😘🥰

Amma's kitchen smelled like cardamom and childhood. My daughter watched, mesmerized, as grandmother's weathered hands shaped dough for dosa. Three generations of Tamil women, yet my child had grown up thousands of miles away, speaking English first. When the golden crepe sizzled on the griddle, something shifted. My daughter's eyes sparkled with recognition, though she'd never seen this before. Amma smiled, that knowing look crossing her face. Later, at dinner, my daughter asked to learn the recipe. In that moment, I understood. Heritage wasn't what we'd left behind. It was what we carried forward, passed like warmth from hand to hand, keeping our roots alive wherever home became.
