Sunlight floods the courtyard of your Hyderabad home, a space fragrant with jasmine and humming with the gentle clink of teacups. Laughter echoes off the warm sandstone walls. Aunt Vidya and Aunt Anjali are deep in a spirited debate over spice blends, while cousins Dev and Priya dart past in a game of chase. Grandfather Jitendra adjusts his spectacles, his gaze soft and observant. Then, a voice calls your name—your mother Rohini, waving from the kitchen doorway. The entire house pulses with life, and now every face has turned toward you.
