snack time

Amma unwrapped the murukku with trembling hands, her silver bangles chiming softly. The crispy spiral reminded her of Kannadasan's verses about simple joys—how poetry lived in everyday moments, not grand stages. Her grandchild peered over eagerly as she broke off a piece. Through PAYBO rewards, she'd earned these treats, teaching him that patience and small choices compound beautifully. The salty fragrance filled their kitchen, generations bridging in one bite. Tamil melodies hummed between them, her mother's recipes dancing on their tongues. In this snack, tradition breathed alive—not as museum pieces, but as living, loving heritage shared between hearts.
