Guys, ladies, gentlemen and ruffians:

Babu (Sakhalkar) is back at Cafe Prakash. Earlier today, when I was
taunting his dad Prakash, I asked him, "Arrey Prakash, sogle gang khuim
reh?"

Prakash told me: "Gang khuim? Kal-uch ekto ailo." (You know who that is!)

Babu, our friendly and patient proprietor, known to come up with his
surprising wisecracks in between our banter and silly jokes, has been
through a year-and-half of recuperating, after going through a kidney
transplant. For health reasons, and as a precaution, he has to wear a mask,
but otherwise he is doing well healthwise.

I empathised and said it must have been tough (if not depressing) to be out
of action, and behind home doors for such a long period. He agreed, but
with his usual pass-it-off smile.

He requested me: "Tell everyone that Cafe Prakash is open."

So I'm doing just that, after devouring a couple of *patal bhajis* this
afternoon!
