#wewerehere

Amma's hands trembled as she held the photograph from 1987. In it, she stood proudly before her first restaurant in Chennai, wearing her grandmother's gold bangles. Decades later, scattered across continents, her children found each other through social media. The youngest in Toronto, the eldest in London, all remembering those same hands kneading dough for dosa. When Amma fell ill, they rallied together virtually, pooling resources, sharing recipes, recording her stories. That simple act of gathering—digital yet deeply rooted—became their anchor. They were here, still connected through our grandmother's language, our mother's strength, our family's unbreakable thread woven across oceans and time.
