YARN IT!
Boston Bhabhi and her daughter, my impressionable niece, are visiting India and us to spend the summer. In their air-conditioned bedroom. I happen to overhear their conversations while cutting vegetables quite unintentionally right outside their bedroom door. ‘Don’t drink the water,’ says my bhabhi. Bah! And then – ‘Never talk to strangers.’ What?
At the first opportunity, I whisk my niece away to inculcate some proper values in her, before this foreign culture turns her head. We have rules for strangers, beta. Listen well – and don’t tell mummy, okay?
