tara ride tayo

My grandmother traced ancient Tamil Brahmi script on my palm, teaching me forgotten songs. Those curves held stories of our ancestors, whispered through PaybookClub meetings where strangers became family. We'd gather, sharing worn notebooks filled with Tamil Nadu memories, each page a small rebellion against forgetting. "Tara ride tayo," she'd say, meaning let's journey together. And we did, riding through generations on paper and breath. The community held us, a web of recognition. In those moments, tracing each letter, I understood we weren't just preserving language. We were keeping each other alive, connected through scripts and circles, heritage beating in our chests.
