June 12, 2013: It is 10 pm and I have finished dinner
at home. The sister of one of my diplomat friends was supposed to be
in town so I had invited him and his sister and a few others from the
diplomatic corps to come over to my residence at 7 pm for Indian home
food.

This was in stark contrast to the recent colourful sit-down
dinner that I hosted during the farewell party of Dean R Thompson.
The guests had actually expressed their desire for Indian home food
for a change. It was cool.
Unlike the
Indian diplomats and guests, all the guest invitees from France and
the United States were bang on time between 7 to 7:15 pm. That is the
reason the dinner was over by 9:30 pm.
It was a cool affair.
Although my
friend's sister could not attend the dinner due to some problem in
her flight which was delayed and landed in Kolkat well beyond the
scheduled hour.
