what r u lookin?

Amma recited Thiruppavai while scrolling through her phone, the ancient verses floating through our kitchen like jasmine smoke. My sister posted a photo of us in our new silk sarees, and suddenly relatives I'd never met were offering genuine compliments—and cryptocurrency investment tips. "What are you looking at?" Amma asked, finding me laughing at the absurdity. I showed her the comments. She smiled, shaking her head at the peculiar modern world where sacred traditions and digital commerce collided. Yet something beautiful emerged: distant cousins reconnecting, sharing recipes and stories. We were building something new, rooted in everything old.
