I agree with Lale on the subject of Mrs. Rupa Mehra. As I said in a previous post, she would have made the Mother in Law from Hell, and I obviously consider you, Sterling, a very compassionate and tolerant person. Fortunately my mother is not anything like her, but some relatives are a bit alike.
I also agree with Lale in preferring Amit over Haresh. Lata is an intellectual girl, and the world of Amit and his family, family-bounded as it would have surely been, seems to me preferable to the arid and languishing world of a Czech foot factory.
