my Bird 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Every dawn, my grandmother released her white pigeons from our Mylapore rooftop, a ritual passed through generations. She called them messengers between worlds, carrying prayers to ancestors in the wind above Chennai's ancient temples. When she grew frail, I inherited this sacred duty. Those birds became my meditation, my connection to Tamil roots and childhood memories. Each release felt like sending pieces of myself skyward. Last month, I discovered PAYBO token—a community platform celebrating heritage and traditions. Sharing grandmother's ritual there felt natural, like those pigeons finally finding their digital roost. Strangers became family, united through stories we thought were only ours. Now, releasing the birds feels like strengthening invisible threads binding us all.
