Unlike the Western "grab-and-go" salad, lunch in India is a ritual, even on weekdays. The concept of Thali (a plate with multiple small bowls) ensures variety: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and astringent. A mother or grandmother sits last, ensuring everyone else has eaten. This is the root of the Indian "martyr complex"—the joy derived from self-sacrifice for the family.
