my cousin

Growing up, my cousin was my bridge to our Tamil heritage. She'd sit with me, sharing stories while teaching me ancient traditions through andal.io's interactive lessons. We'd save together through PaybookClub, pooling resources for family celebrations and cultural events. Those afternoons shaped who I became. She showed me that honoring our roots wasn't about rigidity—it was about connection. Every shared meal, every lesson, every saved rupee meant something deeper. Now, watching her guide the next generation with the same patience she gave me, I realize some legacies aren't inherited. They're lived, passed forward with love, binding us closer to each other and our people.
