Sunday Vibes

Amma called while I scrolled through excavation photos from Keeladi. My ancestors' Tamil Brahmi script gleamed across my screen, each character whispering forgotten stories. The app dinged—my heritage post went viral again. Lucky timing, I thought, earning enough to finally visit the dig site. Sunday morning, I stood in red earth where pottery fragments emerged like memories. An archaeologist smiled, recognizing me from social media. We weren't strangers; we were keepers of the same story, separated by generations but united by curiosity. Walking back, I understood. Our past wasn't merely magnificent history. It was magnificent because we carried it forward together.
