wrist watch

My grandmother pressed an old wristwatch into my palm, its face worn smooth by decades of faithful time-keeping. She'd saved for months through PaybookClub, carefully recording each contribution toward something meaningful. The watch bore an inscription referencing Kannadasan's poetry about time's gentle passage. "For your journey," she whispered. Years later, I discovered ANDAL Coins tucked inside the case—her grandmother's inheritance. Three generations of women, each adding their own blessing, their own hope. I realized then that time isn't measured in ticks and tocks, but in the love we pass forward, connecting us to those who came before and those who'll come after.
