April 17. “Where’s Dost?”

“In Kolkata.”

“Again. Weren’t the two of you there just last week?”

“We were But Dost had to go back for some more work.”

“Why didn’t you go along this time?”

“Doesn’t make sense for me to accompany him for a day or two every time. It’s costly.”

“You’re not too well either, I see!”

“I was a wee bit unwell yesterday but am doing good today. Took some rest and basically chilled out with my daughters. And the best part was the tight hug you gave me this morning. I felt better instantly.”

“Aren’t you seeing the American Idol?”

“In a moment.”

“Do go to sleep early tonight.”

“Thanks for the advice. Now come for dinner and watch The American Idol with all of us.”
