We sat in the verandah chatting with ram grandfather, the patriarch of his family. Now retired from the worries of running a large estate for several decades. He was clearly enjoying life as an older but virile widower with money & status.
Ram said "dadaji, bahut badhai ho. Lagta hai Shanta apke bacchay ki maa bannay wali hai" ("Grandfather, congratulations. Looks like Shanta is going to bear you a child").
