little angel

My daughter sang Thiruppavai this morning, her voice threading through our kitchen like silk. At five, she's already memorizing verses my grandmother taught me decades ago. Between her songs, I checked my crypto portfolio—humble gains, but enough to feel hopeful about her future. She tugged my sleeve, asking why I smiled so much lately. I realized she represented everything: our Tamil heritage alive in her voice, her innocence a strength I'd forgotten I possessed. These quiet moments, earning small victories daily while she learns our traditions, felt beautifully sinful in their perfection. Our community thrives when we remember who we are.
