Morning Routine
Privacy is not a spatial term but a temporal one. In a 1 BHK (bedroom, hall, kitchen) Mumbai apartment, families of five find privacy through staggered sleeping schedules. There is no "my room" but "my time" (e.g., 5:00 AM for elderly meditation, 11:00 PM for younger generation screen time).
And so, another day in the Sharma household came to a close. The family had worked, played, and spent quality time together, strengthening their bonds and creating memories. As they drifted off to sleep, they looked forward to the next day, filled with new experiences, challenges, and joys.
While the traditional "joint family" system—where three or more generations live under one roof—is evolving into nuclear setups in urban centers, the spirit of the joint family remains. Even in high-rise apartments in Mumbai or Bangalore, the "extended family" is just a WhatsApp group away.
The city is quieter now. The kids are asleep, looking like little angels (a complete deception, but we fall for it every night). Mummyji has gone to bed after applying her Vicco Turmeric cream. Raj is scrolling on his phone.
This is the secret of Indian families. We don’t schedule "quality time." Every moment is quality time because you cannot escape each other. The walls are thin. The boundaries are thinner.
Story of the "Non-Stop" Wedding: For six months before the wedding, the Indian household stops functioning as a home and becomes a command center. The mother's daily story involves arguing with the caterer about paneer quality. The father's story involves liquidating investments silently. The sister's story involves deciding between peach and coral for the Mehendi (henna) ceremony.
