Defense Colony was land originally set aside for Military folk so that they could build houses. The area is well set out with leafy avenues and detached homes. A greedy developer is trying to cut down some nearby jungle to build apartments but is being challenged under some Green Legislation.
Our friends provided us with a delicious lunch of prawn and cauliflower curry, chicken patties, bean masala, kingfish steak, bhindi, chappati, curd and rice. Then a huge rich chocolate fudge cake! My goodness! No room left....but thank you very much!
Then we were driven round to the house of an Air Marshall (retired) for rubber bridge. These men play up to five times a week for one rupee per point. They don't make much money but the competition is fierce!
They play five card majors, 16-18 no trump, one club with one diamond denying 8 points, 4 clubs is ace asking.
A good afternoon was spent in the cool air under a ceiling fan.
Tomorrow they are coming to play at our apartment.
The amount of things on the menu for dinner means they must have had a few chefs in the kitchen. What a banquet..I am jealous.
