Chapter 16 I knew Hasmukh before Lalita's family arrived. He used to tutor Anandiben's children. At that time, his conversation and behavior created a distinct impression. Our thinking was exactly alike. We met every day and talked. At night, we would even take a stroll to Chowpatty. I was a writer, and I had told him that. He was quite impressed by that. After Lalita's arrival, Hasmukh started tutoring Kshipra. And that's how he gained entry into my in-laws' house.
