By 7:00 AM, the house transforms. The Indian family lifestyle is loud. Fathers are yelling for the morning newspaper (now an iPad, but the yelling remains). Teenagers are fighting over the bathroom mirror. Grandfathers do their pranayama in the balcony, trying to meditate over the noise.

She chops the onions while I grind the chutney. This hour, before the kids wake up screaming for the Wi-Fi password, is the only hour that belongs to the women of the house."

But at the end of the day, when the lights go out, and the ceiling fan whirs overhead, there is a deep, primal sigh of relief. In a chaotic world, the Indian family is a chaotic, beautiful, unbreakable fortress.
