As the night drew to a close, the family would wind down with some relaxing activities. Rohan and Priya might watch a Bollywood movie or a TV show, while the children would do their homework or play with their toys. Dada and Dadi would sit on the couch, reminiscing about their youth and sharing wisdom with the younger generation.
Every morning, the family would begin their day with a loud "Namaste" (a traditional Indian greeting) as they gathered in the living room for a quick prayer session. Dada, a retired school teacher, would lead the prayer, followed by a recitation of Sanskrit shlokas (verses) and a brief meditation session. The children would giggle and try to focus, while Priya and Rohan would exchange a warm smile, grateful for the spiritual start to their day.
As the children got ready for school, Priya would pack their lunchboxes with a delicious mix of home-cooked food, such as rice, dal (lentil soup), and vegetables, along with a few snacks like fruits or namkeen (savory snacks). Rohan would give them a gentle reminder to focus on their studies and behave well in school.
