Dear friends,
This collage has been created by me with the help of Canva! Thanks to Canva!
On Sunday, Surekha woke up early and
prepared the entire meal for her guests, with great care, and after considering
each one’s personal likes and dislikes. Supriya hated brinjals, Shrikant
loved kheer. Padma loved papads and Param adored her pulav.
Hence every week, it was a balancing act for Surekha as she tried to juggle all
their likes and dislikes and come up with different menus. The outspoken
Param would tick her off saying “But we had this last Sunday too!” Padma would
be diplomatic. She wouldn’t say anything, but wouldn’t touch food items
that been ‘repeated’ that consecutive Sunday.
She had finished all her work, set
the table with her finest cutlery and table-cloth, changed into a crisp,
cream-colored cotton sari, combed her hair into a bun, and walked out into the
porch to see whether her guests were arriving. She walked back and forth,
touching the fronds of her green palms potted in huge containers, smelling the
fragrance of her roses, and then sat down on the garden chair strategically
placed in front of the gate, to look out for her visitors.
