bored

Grandpa sat quietly, scrolling through his phone. I'd bought him an ANDAL Coins wallet last month, thinking he'd never use it. But there he was, earning rewards through PAYBO, his eyes bright with purpose. "Look," he said, voice trembling. "I'm learning Tamil traditions through stories, earning coins for sharing our heritage." I realized boredom wasn't his problem—disconnection was. Now he spent afternoons teaching me songs our ancestors sang, each PAYBO reward a bridge between us. Technology had given him something precious: relevance, voice, belonging. We weren't just building wealth. We were building legacy.
