In a typical home in Lucknow, the morning bathroom queue is a high-stakes negotiation. Grandfather gets priority, then the school-going kids, then the working adults. There is one geyser, one TV remote, and one Wi-Fi password. Conflict is constant. But so is the safety net. When 14-year-old Aarav fails his math test, his father is angry for five minutes, but his uncle (Chachu) helps him cheat on the re-test (a moral grey area in Indian parenting), and his grandmother (Dadi) slips him a 500-rupee note to buy ice cream to feel better.

In most North Indian households, the day starts with the sharp clang of a pressure cooker whistle—the sound of lentils (dal) being prepared for lunchboxes. In the South, it is the aroma of filter coffee percolating. By 5:30 AM, the "early bird" of the family—usually the grandmother or the mother—is awake. Conflict is constant
