The bathroom schedule is a sacred, unspoken treaty. My turn is 7:15 AM sharp. If I am late, the entire domino effect collapses: Priya misses the school bus, husband misses the metro, and the chai gets cold.

We eat with our hands. We reach across each other to grab the pickle jar. We argue about which OTT platform to watch after dinner, only to end up watching a rerun of Tom and Jerry because nobody can agree. Is it chaotic? Absolutely. Is it noisy? Deafeningly so. But is it lonely? Never.

And speaking of chai —nothing happens in an Indian home without tea. The morning gossip, the news headlines, the last-minute signature on a school permission slip—it all happens over a tiny, boiling-hot glass of ginger tea. It is our lubricant of life.

We walk. We eat bhel puri from the food court. The kids run around the toy store without buying anything. Grandfather falls asleep on a bench in the sun. We call it "enjoyment." And honestly? It is. Dinner is served late—usually around 9:00 PM. And it is never a quiet affair. My husband will be on a work call, holding his phone between his ear and shoulder while trying to eat a roti with one hand. Priya will be explaining why she needs a YouTube channel (the answer is no). And my father-in-law will offer unsolicited advice about the stock market based on a newspaper he read in 1998.
