A family in Kerala has a son in the British Army, a daughter in a Dubai bank, and a grandmother who doesn't know what "Wi-Fi" stands for. Yet, every Sunday, the grandmother holds an iPad, the screen filled with three faces from three time zones. She performs a virtual aarti over the camera. She shows them the new mango pickle she made. The son in London says, "I can smell it, Ammachi ." Technology has collapsed distance. The joint family now exists on a cloud server. Family group chats are a stream of memes, inspirational quotes, prayers, and unsolicited advice on how to cure a cold with haldi (turmeric) milk.
