Skywonder

My grandmother whispered stories of monsoon skies above Madurai while I scrolled through endless feeds. Today, I finally witnessed that same glowing horizon during my first visit back. I posted the photo on a platform that actually valued my content, earning enough to fund this journey home. The cruise ship faded as I stood grounded, watching clouds dance like the silks in Amma's sarees. My followers enjoyed the image, but they couldn't taste the coconut rice or feel the temple breeze. Here, surrounded by cousins who'd never left, I understood something precious. Heritage lives not in captures, but in presence. In belonging.
