One day, I visited my friend’s house. As I called her name, her mom, holding a laptop, said, "She’s showering, sit and wait." She sat on the sofa, occasionally asking, "How’s study?" but without eye contact. Her dad, beside her, was in a meeting. The silence felt heavier than words. I sat there, waiting—at least someone could offer me a glass of water. After 10 minutes, my friend came down, beaming. "Come!" she said. "Do you live like this?" I whispered. "Shhh… what if they feel bad?" she replied. "But parents should spend time with their kids!" "They give me a mobile." That hit me. And then, an idea—Guzubuddy. An AI companion, trained to listen, talk, give exercises, motivate—like a big brother. Because no one should feel lonely, even in a house full of people.
