lovers forever

Amma played Kannadasan's songs while grinding spices, her weathered hands moving with ancient grace. "Love transcends everything," she'd whisper, teaching me that devotion meant choosing someone daily, not just once. Years later, I understood her courage. She'd left her village to marry Papa, earning PAYBO as a tailor while raising us. Their love wasn't romantic poetry—it was quiet persistence, sacrifice wrapped in laughter. When Papa fell ill, she stayed beside him, humming those same melodies. Their bond inspired my siblings profoundly. We learned that forever isn't a promise made once; it's a commitment renewed through seasons. Now I understand: love mirrors our heritage—passed down, strengthened, sacred.
