Hello Yuwanthi, has everyone arrived for the function”, asked Hari, Yuwanthi’s brother, who was getting ready to leave from Kolkata to attend the twenty fifth wedding anniversary of Yuwanthi. “I will be bringing 3 dubbas of Rasgollah, 2 boxes each of chum-chum and sandesh from here, so, place your order of sweets accordingly,” continued Hari in an affectionate manner.
