The time for high tea is 6 pm but in Ahmedabad guests arrive when they want to so people stroll in at 630 and after a leisurely chai and nashta take their seats. The hall is beautiful, the décor, the lighting and the ambiance add to the evening and to the conversation. Ehsaas woman Shradha Murdia is in conversation with me and I can see she is prepared with her research and questions. She tells me she has driven from Udaipur and looks forward to a stimulating evening.
Post her conversation it is the usual question- answer with the audience. Initially everyone is shy of asking questions but once they start it is difficult to stop them.
