She thought of the chaos, the noise, the endless lists. The daily grind of chai , parathas , school runs, and spice boxes. Some might call it monotonous. But as she listened to the faint sound of Rajiv humming an old Kishore Kumar song from the next room, Meena smiled.
That evening, the family converged in the living room. The TV was on, playing the evening news, but no one was watching. Rajiv was helping Aryan balance a chemical equation. Kavya was showing Sharadha Ji her medal, explaining the word “antidisestablishment.” Meena sat on the floor, her legs folded, cutting fresh coriander for the night’s dinner— paneer butter masala and fresh rotis .

By 7:45 AM, the house had erupted into controlled chaos. Rajiv was looking for his car keys, which were, as always, in the pooja room next to the small idol of Lord Ganesha. Aryan had forgotten his physics notebook and was blaming Kavya, who had already put on her shoes and was standing by the door, a model of punctuality.
