Mumbai, 4th May 2019
Adda at Alakta’s in Mumbai on 4 May:
Grace under pressure
Season Six saw a soft launch that was most touching … over a hundred cups raised to a cause held most dear by Alakta and Salim and their families … this special Adda was dedicated to Salim’s beloved mother who herself survived a fatal cancer with grace and strength for several months.
The gentle lady’s presence was very much in our midst as both Alakta and her gracious mother Chumki both wore Imma’s (as Mrs Abubaker was fondly called by everyone) sarees in her remembrance and in tribute to her strong and kind spirit.
