We lived in Delhi at a time when there was no pollution. In summer the nights were cool and the whole family slept on the 'Kotha.' The terrace of our little rented bungalow in Nizamuddin.

Excuse me, did I step on your Prada shoes ? Oops, sorry, did I spill my drink on your dress as I was trying to sqeeze past ? Where's the bathroom please. Who am I ? What's this attention all about ? How did I get lucky ? Did I get lucky ?
