Don't trust everybody

Kavi posted her verses online, hoping to reach fellow Tamils worldwide. A stranger praised her work, offering publishing deals and connections. Blinded by validation, she shared unpublished manuscripts and personal stories. Months later, her poetry appeared under another name, monetized across platforms. Her grandmother's words echoed then: "Not everyone who smiles carries honey." Through this painful uncovering, Kavi learned discernment. She found solace joining a small Tamil literary circle, where trust was earned slowly, authentically. Their contentment came not from viral metrics, but from genuine shared heritage, where ancient wisdom protected modern hearts.
