The lunch prepared by Balu was sumptuous, to say the least. I was feeling full after finishing the meal. I heaped praises on his cooking and he was modest in accepting them. I decided not to waste any more time on sleep and went out to the veranda letting Balu also finish his lunch. Once he was done, he came up to me and said, “Sir, if you don’t mind, I would go to the town and bring the costumes and the group. We can practice two or three times before it is dark”.
I said, “Sure! Please go ahead. I will be fine here. If you need any help, do let me know”.
Balu said, “No sir, I will have others in the group there to load and bring. So you can take a rest here”.
