Has six hands, metaphorically. One stirs the upma , one packs a tiffin box with layers—rice, sambar , a separate dabba for pickle, and a secret stash of chakli for the 4 PM hunger pang. Her third hand zips up her daughter’s school bag, and her fourth hand wipes the forehead of her son, who is pretending to study but is actually watching a lizard on the wall.
