One of the most poignant comes from Shreya, a software engineer in Bengaluru: "My alarm rings at 6 AM, but I don't need it. My mother-in-law’s chanting of the Vishnu Sahasranamam at 5:30 AM is my true wake-up call. Initially, I saw it as noise. Now, three years into marriage, it feels like the anchor of my day. If I don't hear her voice, the house feels broken."
