/* =====================================================================
   MBA BHORTI — Home Page Redesign Theme (LIGHT)
   Scope: loads ONLY on index.html (linked after css/styles.css)
   Purpose: bright, professional colour system + original motion
   language, layered on top of the shared stylesheet without touching
   any other page. No text, images or markup meaning is altered here —
   only presentation (colour, type, depth, motion).
