Between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, the house transforms. The chaos dies down. Lunch is done (usually a plate of dal-chawal with pickle or curd). The fan is on high speed. Dad is napping on the sofa with the newspaper over his face. Grandfather is watching a soap opera at low volume.
Family WhatsApp groups are the modern "digital courtyard," used for sharing blessings, news, and organizing festivals.
