In many North Indian households, waking up 'bahut jaldi' (the 'Brahma Muhurta') is considered a sign of discipline and spirituality. In the tech hubs of Bangalore and Gurgaon, 'bahut jaldi' is the expected pace for startups, often referred to as 'sprint' culture. Ironically, while guests are told the wedding starts 'jaldi', most people arrive 'der se' (late), knowing the actual rituals take time. Street vendors (thela-walas) pride themselves on serving 'bahut jaldi' to keep up with the rush of commuters.
