There’s a specific kind of chaos that only happens at 7:00 AM in an Indian household. It isn’t just the alarm clock ringing; it’s a symphony. It’s the pressure cooker whistling for the idlis , my mother-in-law chanting her morning prayers in the pooja room, my husband searching frantically for his lost car keys (which are always in the mandir drawer), and my six-year-old negotiating for “five more minutes” of sleep.
