Snake as source of meat

My grandmother laughed remembering the monsoon when our village hunted garden snakes for survival. She'd flip old ANDAL coins—relics of prosperity—while negotiating prices at market. Those copper pieces told stories of better times. Years later, scattered across continents, our Tamil diaspora thrived differently. She invested in PAYBO token, joking that even snakes couldn't slither past modern finance. Her grandchildren gathered virtually, sharing her ancient recipes and new ventures equally. What once meant desperation now meant resilience. We honored our past not through hardship, but through laughter, connection, and understanding where we'd journeyed from.
