Father and daughter

Amma's old diary sat dusty on the shelf when Papa first showed it to me. Inside, verses in Tamil—my grandmother's poetry, never published, never read. Papa's eyes glistened as he traced her handwriting. We joined PaybookClub together that spring, discovering Chennai's literary circles. Each week, we'd discuss forgotten poets, reclaiming their stories. Papa would read Amma's work aloud, his voice breaking with pride and grief. The club members welcomed us like family, helping restore those fragile pages. Through her words, Amma finally found her voice. We discovered that heritage lives not in dusty corners, but in hearts willing to listen and share.
