Summary (chapter 11)
In chapter 11 we get to explore the Kulfi’s cooking pots. Kulfi
is in the forest looking for and setting a trap for the strangest birds that
she can find. When she cooks it would make Sampath happy and she herself wanted
to explore more of the forest creatures and try them one by one.
She was warned about the dangers in woods by goat herder. But
she did not care she wanted explore those plants, roots and even flowers. She would
try her best to avoid any visitors that had come to the orchard because she was
not interested in a chat she just wanted to cook for her son and satisfy
herself.
Sampath would wait for his meals. Sometimes her creations
were impressive but at times they were not. Mr. Chawla who would watched this, was
worried that Sampath might die because of the kind of food given to
him. Kulfi assured that the meal was safe by feeding a little part of it to the
chickens. Mr. Chawla was really did not understand her ways. Mr Chawla was
ready to take Kulfi to the mental asylum but he could not, after
all they were the most respectable people in the town. What might the devotees
think?
The devotees watched as Sampath ate his delicious smelling
meal. They would try to take a peak of what Kulfi was cooking but there was not
point of that she would aggressively shoo them away.
The spy had finally given up his research, he was sure that
there was something in Kulfi’s cooking pots. Due to these food issues, Mr Chawla
had set up certain time at which devotes could come meet him.
These allocated times made Sampath feel like an important
person. At the end of the chapter Desai leaves us with a cliff hanger telling
us that everything was just fine before the monkeys arrived.
