In the kitchen of memory
About five years ago, Mrs B, a very close friend of my parents, moved to Mumbai after half a century of living in Calcutta. By the time she left, both my parents had passed away, as had the lady's husband. In a city where we had no relatives, I had grown up with my parents' friends being my aunts and uncles. Mrs and Mr B, 'mashi' and 'kaka' respectively, were one of the three couples who were effectively my family. From 1978 the Bs were also our neighbours, their flat across the landing from ours. When Mrs B left, she hoped to return to this city for some time, even if for a brief period, and she kept her flat untouched. Recently, her health not aiding her, Mrs B decided to finally sell the place, and her daughter and son-in-law came across from Mumbai to start the procedure of wrapping up the house and disposing of all the stuff that goes into making up a well-to-do Indian home.
