A TUESDAY EVENING
An ordinary family.
Four people across two cities. Six medicines, three lab reports, one WhatsApp group. No intelligent space holding any of it together.
PRIYA · 34 · DAUGHTER · LONDON
Priya, in London.
A WhatsApp message from home. For two years she has managed her parents' health from London — medications, reports, appointments. Not because she was asked to. Because no one else would.
RAVI · 64 · FATHER · PUNE
Ravi, in the living room.
He is in the living room watching the news. Six medicines on the kitchen counter. He took most of them this morning. He thinks.
SUNITA · 60 · MOTHER · PUNE
Sunita, in the kitchen.
She has been watching Ravi more carefully this week. His energy is lower than usual. She hasn't mentioned it to Priya. She doesn't want to worry her.
NANI · 82 · GRANDMOTHER · PUNE
And Nani — asleep in her chair.
Her blood pressure check was due last Tuesday. In the business of the week, everyone forgot.
