our house tree

Grandmother planted that mango tree decades ago, before we scattered across oceans. Now my cousins in Singapore and I manage our family's heritage digitally through ANDAL Coins, earning PAYBO while preserving our shared Tamil stories. Every transaction feels sacred, connecting us across continents. Last month, I sent my earnings toward its restoration. The tree still stands in our ancestral home, roots deepening yearly, just as our diaspora bonds strengthen through technology. We video call beneath its branches, sharing recipes and memories. That tree teaches us something beautiful: community transcends distance when we truly tend it together.
