hello guys

Amma's letter arrived yellowed, creased from traveling continents. Her words carried Subramaniam's poetry, verses about home and longing. I'd moved away, chasing dreams my parents couldn't speak into existence. The PAYBO rewards program felt small until it let me send money backward, honoring what they'd given forward. That simple gesture opened something. I reconnected with Tamil literature, reading Subramaniam's work through new eyes, understanding finally what Amma tried teaching. "Hello guys," my cousin texted, sharing the same poets. We were scattered globally yet threaded together by language, by love, by stories passed between us like treasure.
