Always have a smile in your faces❤️

Grandma's photograph arrived pixelated on my screen from Chennai, her wrinkled face beaming despite the monsoon flooding outside. I'd left Tamil Nadu for tech work abroad, chasing crypto opportunities that promised daily returns. Yet watching her smile, I remembered something more valuable. She'd survived partition, raised children through poverty, never lost that radiant warmth. My digital wealth meant nothing compared to her resilience. That evening, I video-called her, laughing at her terrible jokes, learning our family recipes. Our ancestors built magnificent temples with bare hands. We built communities through presence, not prosperity. Perhaps true wealth is smiling back at those who raised us.
