Saturday mornings start early for Meena. She and her sisters watch the sun rise while drinking chai before they clean the house and then head to the grocery store - while their brother gets to stay in bed. As the guests arrive, including Meena's favorite cousins, the women crowd into the kitchen to cook. The doorbell rings nonstop as family, neighbours, and friends fill the bustling house. Once fresh chapatis are made, dinner begins - for the men. But Meena spots an empty seat at the table and decides today is the day she makes an important change.
