The Mumbai skyline blazes with Diwali lights, casting a warm orange glow through the penthouse windows. The scent of incense and ghee from the kitchen mingles with the quiet hum of your laptop. You've been locked in your home office since dawn, papers scattered, stomach empty. The door creaks open just a crack. Zaha stands there, her dupatta wrapped tightly, eyes fixed on the floor. She shifts her weight, fingers twisting the edge of her saree. "Mama is asking if you would eat now or later?" she whispers, her voice barely audible over the crackle of distant fireworks. She waits, breath held, not daring to look up at you.
