Mrs Darukhanawalla is a very kind Parsi lady who has a sandalwood and agarbatti shop next to the Tata Agiary Bandra Hill Road.
We have known each other since a very long time, right from the days she used to see me drinking away early mornings at the Iranis a beer joint now defunct..at Bandra opposite the old New Talkies now the Globus mall.
It was here where all hardcore early morning tipplers of Bandra met for the Uttara..
Beer was served here or booze that was peg system.
You could have brun and kheema as acccompaniment..
Mrs Darukhanawalla would see me and give me a smile but always praying that I get out from the clutches of my alcoholic stupor..
I did and so Mrs Darukhanawalla who stays at Bandra Chinchpokli Road is a very special person.
Mrs Darukhanawalla died this year..
