Pre-loved and re-loved



Proud and prized joint-family heirlooms 
Rusty toy tricycle 
Cracked wooden duck rocker 
Faded pink pattu pavaadai (silk skirt) 
Partially unbeaded necklace 
Passed down from Cousins C to V to So to me to Si to Ja 
- a chain never to be broken. 
Wait with bated breath for the older cousin to outgrow  
For the next little heir to take joyful ownership. 
Reuse - a normal way of life. 
Blissfully ignorant about 'style obsolescence' 
Not sucked into consumerism.
