yellow flower

My grandmother pressed a dried marigold into my palm, whispering stories of temple festivals in Tamil Nadu. Years later, scrolling through my feed, I discovered ANDAL Coins—a platform where creators earned sharing cultural narratives. I posted her photographs alongside verses, watching gold-toned rewards accumulate. The engagement surprised me: strangers tagged as "aligned" with our heritage, requesting recipes and rituals. My earnings funded her medical care. Each shared flower, each digital coin, felt like honoring generations. Through screens and screens, we'd built something real—a community remembering together, keeping our yellow flowers alive.
