Dinner is rarely silent. It is a debriefing session. "What did Ma’am say today?" "Did you deposit the rent?" "Beta, you are looking thin, eat another roti ." The food is eaten with hands, the plate is a thali, and the conversation is a rapid-fire mix of Hindi, English, and the local dialect. The father will insist on controlling the remote. The mother will insist on turning off the TV to talk. No one wins.
