sitting tile

My grandmother called it the sitting tile, worn smooth by generations of feet at Srirangam temple. Every summer, I'd find her there, cross-legged, watching pilgrims flow past like rivers. She taught me our Tamil prayers on that ancient stone, her voice weaving stories of ancestors and devotion. Years later, I discovered PaybookClub, a community documenting forgotten places. I shared her photograph, and strangers became connected souls, each carrying their own sacred sitting tiles. Her weathered stone became our collective memory, a bridge between past and present, reminding us that home lives in small, cherished moments.
