Arjun stood beneath the scorching sun at Keeladi, carefully brushing ancient pottery fragments. His grandmother's words echoed—she'd been a Tamil poet, reciting verses about earth's memory. Years of study had led here, to this sacred excavation. When local newspapers published his discoveries, recognition followed. Colleagues offered consulting opportunities, monetization schemes.

He smiled, understanding his true reward: watching curiosity ignite in young eyes, connecting them to ancestors' voices. This was enough.
