The Shahs' day started early, with the first light of dawn creeping through their windows. Rohan, a government employee, began his day with a quick shower and a steaming cup of chai, followed by a visit to the local temple for his morning prayers. Nalini, an entrepreneur with a small business selling handmade crafts, started her day by preparing breakfast for the family. The aroma of freshly made puris and simmering spices filled the air, signaling the start of a new day.
