It’s been, like, one solid hour since we’ve been saying our goodbyes.
1. Hello, Salam, Namaste, Satsrikaaal!
2. Time to invest two hours smiling at guests I don't entirely care for because my mom will kill me otherwise.
3. OOPS, haha, wasn't really expecting to be embraced for that awkward length of time, aunty.
4. Wow everyone wears very strong perfu—OH.
5. Oh shit, they brought a kid.
6. He'd better be well-behaved……………
7. Praying he will stay out of the vicinity of our ornamental vase.

The film opens with a bunch of people playing cricket. Now for slower viewers, like yours truly, the makers of this film have been kind enough to label everything. Images and sounds are not enough for me to grasp these things.

“Girls At Dhabas” is a movement to reclaim public spaces for women.
She with her friend Sabahat Zakariya started a Tumblr called "girlsatdhabas" where they curate photo submissions sent in by Desi women who, like them, love to hit the dhaba for hot chai served in questionably washed cups.
A dhaba is a roadside food and tea stall.

Before the installation of solar panels, darkness loomed over the village of Dharnai for 30 years.
Children would study with the aid of kerosene lamps. All daily chores were conducted by fire light instead of electricity for a very difficult three decades.
