"I remember my childhood spent in a joint family in Mumbai," says Rohini, a 30-year-old marketing professional. "Every morning, our entire family would gather for a quick breakfast, followed by a lively discussion on current events, politics, or sports. My grandmother, or 'Dadi,' would regale us with stories of our ancestors and the freedom struggle. Evenings were spent playing board games, watching Bollywood movies, or practicing yoga together. Those were magical times, and I cherish the memories of my childhood in a joint family."
