Summary

Tochi hurried home from work to find Narinder making chick peas. She was not hungry and gave him her leftovers, then recoiled in disgust at herself although he was not offended. Tochi told Narinder that he was a chamaar and she reacted warmly; he then told her that his family had died. After dinner, he told her his life story, from his childhood to his journey to England. The next week, they made dinner together. Another day, Narinder tried to convince Tochi to be more religious. The next week, Ardashir called Tochi and offered him a lucrative construction job in Spain, but Tochi declined.
