When we moved into our first house, years ago in Bandra, we were not at all practical. But we had fun and we were happy.

We didn’t have a TV so it was good that Vivek was so entertaining…

and we made do, like typical college students, living out of cartons and re-using & recycling things. Our house was on the top floor of a block of flats, and we took it because it had lovely light and big windows…and no kitchen (didn’t I say, we were not practical). Oh and the ceiling was beautiful, with wooden rafters…

but we had forgotten all about the Mumbai monsoon…until it hit us!
