If you’ve ever peeked through the window of an average Indian home (okay, maybe a joint family home), you might think you’re watching a high-speed cricket match. There’s a lot of running around, a few loud exclamations, and—most importantly—a lot of love passed around like chai.

We have three generations under one roof, but only two bathrooms. The math doesn't work. By 8 AM, there is a queue. My son is banging on the door shouting, "Emergency!" (The emergency is that his video game is loading). My husband is trying to shave while my daughter is doing her skincare routine that takes exactly 45 minutes. I’ve learned to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink. Don't judge me. You would too.
