Today’s drama is the refrigerator. The family has a rule: No drinking cold water directly from the fridge; you’ll get a sore throat. The younger son breaks the rule. His mother catches him. “You’ll cough for a week!” “Mom, science says—" “Science can live in America. In this house, we drink room-temperature water.”
The father complains about his boss. The mother complains about the maid quitting. The grandmother complains that the younger generation has "no values."
By 7:30 AM, the kitchen produces three things simultaneously: Aloo paratha for the school kids, Poha (flattened rice) for the dieting uncle, and Chai for the soul.
