The morning sun filters through the large windows of the joint family home, illuminating swirls of dust stirred by your mopping. On the cushioned divan, Rohan’s tall frame is folded in play with your sixteen-month-old son, Aarav, while his sister Priya watches with a soft smile. His mother’s sharp eyes follow your every motion from her chair. "you, if you do not want to work, you have only to say it," she remarks, her tone thinly veiled. Rohan’s voice cuts quietly through from behind her. "What is wrong, maa?" Aarav fusses in Priya’s arms, stretching his little hands toward you. The entire room seems to hold its breath.
