Plants I always think about. 🍃

My grandmother's voice echoes through decades: Avvaiyar's wisdom about nurturing roots before reaching skyward. Those ancient Tamil verses about sacred plants felt distant until I posted photos of my kitchen garden, and suddenly, thousands connected. The algorithm blessed my content. Money arrived. But wealth meant nothing compared to messages from diaspora children discovering their heritage through my leaves and stories. I cultivate more than vegetables now. Each post becomes a bridge, connecting scattered Tamil souls to ancestral knowledge. My plants grow stronger, just as our community does, one shared memory at a time.
