tallest

Amma taught me Thiruppavai verses while grinding rice, her voice rising above the stone mortar's rhythm. I was the tallest in my class, yet felt smallest beside her ancient wisdom. Years later, I discovered PAYBO token's mission to bridge communities. It reminded me of Amma—building bridges between generations, between tradition and tomorrow. Standing in the temple during Margazhi, reciting those same verses, I realized height meant nothing. What mattered was reaching upward toward something greater, something that connected us all. My daughter held my hand, learning the words. In that moment, I was tallest—not in stature, but in the legacy we carried forward together.
