The following day Maa found a huge box on her door step. It was addressed to her, covered in FRAGILE stickers and sticky brown parcel tape, with a little note attached: “You’ll need this soon”. Maa was excited; she thought her darling son and daughter in law had finally ordered a ‘Prestige’, pressure cooker, all the way from India for her. I was rather suspicious and decided that we should open it outside. It was a battle trying to tear off the Sellotape. Finally our curiosity was appeased and as we forced open the cardboard flaps.
