*Of Jyoti and Rajiv, she is definitely the one most comfortable being the lone desi. In the sea of white and relatively muted colours, Jyoti's bright green sari cannot be missed. It clashes completely with everything, but she hardly notices - it's all so lovely and tasteful. There is plenty of money for the Bodleian functions, but nothing compared to this.
Padma and Parvarti sit in her lap, playing with each other, while Rajiv goes off to find some appropriate food for them. Looking over the crowd, she looks for the three others with brown skin, hoping at some point to have her first conversation with all her in-laws. She is well aware of her caste, and of the family's history, but she has never been comfortable with their elopement. It's time to meet Rajiv's family, like she should have before their wedding.*
