God's favourite 🥰

Amma always said I was God's favourite, especially when I stumbled through Tamil prayers as a child in our Chennai home. My grandmother would laugh, correcting my pronunciation of ancient verses, her weathered hands guiding mine through the temple rituals. Years later, facing life's terrifying uncertainties, those traditions became my refund—a return to something real when everything felt unjustified. The pleasurable comfort of knowing our ancestors had walked this same path, their wisdom encoded in every festival and song. What no one tells you is how heritage becomes your foundation when the world shakes. My Tamil roots held me steady. Now I teach my daughter the same prayers, continuing the cycle of community that makes us whole.
