That's Anjali. She picks up fallen jasmine buds and lines them up on the windowsill. She saves the last piece of banana chip for her Amma. She holds her Ammuma's hand a little tighter than she needs to, every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAnjali lives in Kochi, where the backwaters run past her house and the coconut trees lean over the road. Her cream-and-gold kasavu — with its olive-green bodice and traditional zari border — is what her Ammuma stitches for her every year, a fresh one for Onam. Anjali wears it barefoot on the veranda, wraps a strand of jasmine around her braid, and waits for the sadya to be served on the banana leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eShe's the youngest cousin in the Kindora Family.
