ABSTRACT

The lamb vindaloo was especially tasty this evening. Ravi’s mother had outdone herself. Yet, Dr. Sanjiv Lavishankar only picked at it with his fork. He clearly had no appetite. The events of last week had left him quite saddened. This is why Ravi’s father had invited his friend over for dinner that evening-in an attempt to cheer him up. Yet, Dr. Lavishankar could not forget his troubles and recounted his story once again to the family as if still trying to come to terms with the fact that it had actually happened.
