Vaccinated 😊

Grandmother hummed an ancient Avvaiyar verse while waiting for her turn. "Health is wealth," the saint had written centuries ago. She'd finally joined WhatsApp to see her grandchildren's photos, discovering unexpected wisdom in their memes and messages. The nurse called her name. As the needle entered her arm, she thought of resilience, of bodies healing through generations. Her grandson had sent money through the app for her vaccination fee. Small kindness, modern times. Walking out, she felt invincible. That evening, she'd teach him Carnatic ragas online. Community bloomed in unexpected spaces.
