The kitchen, by 7:30 AM, is a symphony. One burner hisses with poha (flattened rice) for breakfast. Another steams idlis . The mixer grinder roars into life for coconut chutney. Meena, multitasking like a fifth-limbed goddess, packs lunch boxes: three separate compartments— roti, sabzi, dal —a silent prayer packed into steel tiffins that no child in the West could fathom. It is not just food. It is love, tradition, and a subtle jab: “You didn’t eat your okra yesterday. I put extra today.”
