Leela, a 62-year-old retired school teacher in Jaipur, wakes at 4:45 AM. She doesn’t turn on the light. She moves by memory. First, the brass puja bell rings softly in the temple room. Then, the sound of a mortar and pestle grinding spices—cardamom for the morning tea, coriander for the vegetable curry. By 6:00 AM, the pressure cooker is whistling (rice and lentils), and the distinct aroma of filter coffee or masala chai permeates every crack in the walls, pulling teenagers out of bed.
