Aarav burst through the door, his uniform untucked, a smudge of chocolate on his cheek. “Ma! I got a star in drawing! I drew a rocket!” The family paused. Meera wiped her hands and kissed his forehead. Rajiv patted his back. In that single moment of pride, all the morning chaos was forgiven.

This was the rhythm of their life—a beautiful, noisy negotiation. Aarav burst through the door, his uniform untucked,
Dinner was a family affair. They ate together on the floor of the dining room, sitting cross-legged on small wooden chowkis .

Meera Sharma, the 48-year-old matriarch, moved with the efficiency of a seasoned general. Her sari pallu was tucked firmly at her waist as she stirred a pot of poha (flattened rice) for breakfast.
