Piggy bank

Grandmother's ceramic piggy bank sat on my shelf, filled with coins saved across decades in Chennai's winding streets. My followers loved the nostalgia, sharing it thousands of times. Monetization requests flooded in. But I hesitated, remembering how Amma would recite Kambar's verses while dropping each rupee inside, teaching me that wealth meant preserving stories, not selling them. The bank held more than money—it held her voice, our neighborhood's rhythm, generations whispering through clay. I closed the monetization panel and kept saving, understanding finally that some treasures belong to everyone who remembers.
