Let me take you through a typical Tuesday at our home in Pune, where three generations live under one tin roof. By 6:00 AM, the "water heating race" has begun. My husband is fighting with the geyser schedule, my 14-year-old daughter, Riya, is wrapped in a towel like a burrito demanding five more minutes, and I am packing lunch boxes. Not one lunch—three.

Riya is on her phone (against the rules, but I pick my battles). I sit with a cup of ginger chai, listening to the silence. Not one lunch—three
