Dinner is arguably the most sacred hour of the day. It is rarely a solitary event or a meal eaten out of boxes in front of individual screens.

And that, in the end, is the greatest love story of all. It isn’t written in a diary; it’s written in the steam rising from a shared cup of chai at dawn.

And when the storm passes, they don’t hug and talk about their feelings. They just pass the plate of pakoras (fritters) and turn on the TV.
