In most Indian homes, the day begins before the sun. This is the domain of the elders. Grandfathers perform pranayama (yoga breathing) on the terrace. Grandmothers light the diya (lamp) in the pooja (prayer) room. This is the only time the house is truly quiet. The smell of incense and fresh jasmine mixes with the distant call to prayer from a mosque or the bells of a temple. These early hours are a spiritual buffer before the storm.
During Diwali, the house is cleaned with fanatical aggression. During Ganesh Chaturthi, the family idol is welcomed with a procession around the block, disrupting traffic and annoying neighbors, who are also doing the same thing. These stories of "adjustment"—fitting ten relatives into a two-bedroom flat, sharing one bathroom for a week, fighting over the last gulab jamun —are the true folklore.
