morning all

Every morning, Priya's daughter traces Tamil Brahmi letters on the kitchen window, breath fogging the glass. The script her grandmother brought from Chennai, passed through generations of diaspora hands, now dances under small fingers in Toronto. "Amma, look," the girl whispers, proud. Other parents praise her accomplishment, their envy barely hidden. But Priya recognizes something deeper—a child anchored between worlds, honoring roots while reaching forward. These moments reward her far more than social validation ever could. She sits beside her daughter, adding her own letters to the window. Two souls writing their story together, connecting past to present, one character at a time.
