making fire

Grandmother's hands trembled as she taught me the ancient ritual of Thiruppavai, our voices rising in Tamil verses passed down through generations. She spoke of divine light awakening within darkness, much like kindling flame. Years later, I discovered blockchain technology and felt that same spark. I built on Stellar, creating transparent systems for our community's microloan programs. The network connected us across continents, making trust visible. Fire, I realized, takes many forms. Whether chanted in temples or coded in networks, we're still making light. Heritage doesn't resist progress; it illuminates the path forward, binding us together through time.
