After getting her family settled, Priya started her own routine. She took a quick shower, got dressed in a comfortable salwar kameez (a traditional Indian outfit), and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. Today, she was making parathas (flatbread) with vegetables and a spicy chutney.

As she cooked, she hummed along to the Bollywood songs playing in the background. Her family started to wake up, and soon the kitchen was filled with the chatter of her children and the aroma of fresh bread.

Priya was passionate about empowering women, especially young girls. She believed that education and self-reliance were key to women's empowerment. She often volunteered at a local NGO that worked with girls from underprivileged backgrounds, providing them with education and mentorship.

First, she helped her mother, who lived with them, get ready for the day. Priya's mother, Dadi, was a feisty woman in her early seventies, with a quick wit and a sharp tongue. Priya helped her with her morning puja (prayer), and then they chatted about their plans for the day.
