When the alarm clock rings at 5:30 AM in Mumbai, it is not just one person who stirs. In a typical Indian household, the vibration of a phone triggers a domino effect. The mother is already awake, the faint sound of a pressure cooker whistling in the kitchen. The grandfather is unfolding his newspaper on the veranda. The children are reluctantly pulling blankets over their heads. And the family dog is wagging its tail, knowing that the chai is about to be poured.
