selfie

Amma taught me Thiruppavai verses while braiding my hair, her voice weaving through our kitchen like morning light. Years later, standing before the temple, I captured that moment—my reflection showing her strength in my eyes. That selfie became my anchor during difficult months. When I earned my PAYBO certification, I sent it to Amma first. She wept, seeing generations of sacrifice crystallized in my achievement. Now I teach other girls those same verses, camera ready to document their journeys. Each selfie becomes a testament to inherited wisdom, Tamil pride, and the unbreakable thread connecting us all.
