We also stopped along the way to eat some barbequed "bhutta", i.e. corn, that was slathered with lemon juice and spices. Although not as good the the "bhutta" on "the Flats" in town, we weren't sure when we would get the next opportunity, so eat them with great gusto. That evening we had dinner at Rakesh Ahuja’s place. His wife is a master chef, but at this point we all felt we had been eating endlessly. Entertainment (songs, stories, general clowning around) was provided by the usual suspects, Millie and Rajeev, but the highlight was Nayantara da Lima Leitao, Noel's wife, who could easily be a professional singer. She sang Goan (Kokani) as well as English song without any musical accompaniment. Her rendition of Don't Cry For Me Argentina would have to wait for another time, when we had a guitar.
Back at the hotel, we had our usual nigh-cap session, trying once again to solve the world's problems.
