Lali brought the food in which was a stack of chappathis/rotis, a mixed vegetable sabji, some cucumber raita and some sweets like chum chum.

We took some chappathis and sabji, sweets and sat on the diwan on the floor, keeping the plates on our lap. We devoured it quickly as we wanted to chat, share ideas and some experiences we were all up to date with. Lali also brought some cold rose milk, and some cup ice creams (in those days we only had small or medium-sized ice creams served in small cups. The tubs we have now did not exist to take home in Chennai).
