My favorite part of the day is 5 PM— chai time . My dad and his friends sit on the balcony, discussing politics, cricket, and the rising price of onions as if the fate of the world depends on it. Inside, my mom and aunts gather around the dining table, chopping vegetables and exchanging masala (gossip).

If you close your bedroom door, someone will open it to ask if you want tea. The answer is always yes.

When I had a job interview last month, I didn’t just wish for luck. My grandmother lit an incense stick for me. My father reviewed my resume (twice). My brother lent me his lucky pen. And my mother brought me a cup of ginger tea with the exact amount of sugar I like.

My mother has a superpower: she can stretch a meal meant for 4 people into a feast for 12 in under 20 minutes. Dal becomes dal fry . Leftover rice becomes lemon rice . A single chapati is cut into strips and fried into crunchy snacks.
