February 2. “Have you received any news about the Kolkata event and how it went off?”

“Choti (let’s call chotididi “choti” and barididi “bari”) told me a bit about how it was a success, Button, but not the details. I haven’t heard from Dost though! The latest I got to know is that choti is drunk to her gills and Dost is dancing with some chick!”

“Is Dost carrying his dancing hat?”

“Not that I know of.”

“Dost loves to dance, doesn’t he?”

“He enjoys dancing even though his sense of rhythm isn’t quite in place and he loves inventing strange and bizarre dancing steps!”

“You should let him be if he enjoys dancing so much and not make fun. Dancing is a great stress-buster.”

“I actually should. He has great fun when he is on the dance floor.”
