Jambu came in the evening a little after 5 pm. He had brought with him a packed dinner, he knew well that with all the plays about the group sex, there would have been no time for Hema (mom) to cook. Very wise and smart of him. Vimala probably was wise enough to hint to him.

Jambu brought idlis, vadas and a dozen dosas with an assortment of chutneys and sambar a very typical and easy tiffin that’s easy on you for breakfast lunch or dinner. He had also brought some salty namkeen almost ready for a party without the women folks spending time in the kitchen was his idea. Hema was planning to make cracked wheat uppuma, a quick and easy meal that can be prepared, and now she said there is so much food and decided to not do any cooking.
