Isaiah 54:10

Amma's hands trembled as she video-called from Chennai, showing me her phone. My grandmother, seventy-three, had learned blockchain basics through my patient teaching. Her mangalsutra caught the light as she laughed—actually laughed—about earning modest crypto daily. "You're capable, beta. This is your mountain," she said, quoting scripture we'd recited since childhood. She wasn't chasing wealth. She was building independence, dignity, legacy. Every digital transaction connected her to our diaspora family scattered across continents, to our traditions reimagined. That evening, I realized: our heritage thrives not through nostalgia, but through empowering each other toward tomorrow.
