October 21. Pune. “And what are you up to?”
“Button, Dost and I ate a lovely Chinese meal.”
October 22. “How was Pune?”
“Nice, Button. Can’t say I loved it. Found it a bit chaotic and loud. Far too many people use scooters as a means of conveyance. As a result, pollution is very high despite the ample greenery.”
October 20. “Am off to Pune for a day or two, Button.
Am dreading this trip because of a bad back but Dost refuses to listen.”
October 17. “Button, today is Dashera, the tenth day of Durga puja. Most of the idols will be immersed today.”
“Happy Dashera. Let’s proceed with our story?”
October 16. The Red Sofa sat in her corner quite contented.
Do you know that I get to see all the television shows the family watches?
October 15. “Button, will you begin the story?”
“Happily. Shall we call the story The Red Sofa?”
October 14. “Button, Dost said another brilliant thing this morning.”
“Really and what was it?”
