Text on the card reads:
One summer day in 1950, Dr. Ambedkar received a special visitor - his dear friend Balwant Varale.
A plan to go picnicking in scenic Okhla was proposed. Dr. Ambedkar was a bit reluctant but his wife Savita and Balwant convinced him
Text on the card reads:
What started as a party of three, kept growing as more people joined: - Dr. Ambedkar’s doctor, his two assistants, a journalist friend, and their cook Sudama, all ended up in the car to Okhla .
Text on the card reads:
Once they reached, Sudama unpacked the samaan they had carried with them: spices, mutton, rice, ghee– ingredients for a hearty treat
Then Dr. Ambedkar decided he would do the cooking.
(in blurb) “ You just keep watching and see what delicious stuff I cook.”
He ordered everyone out of the kitchen

Meat was cut, spices were ground, onions were chopped
BLURB: “masala should be ground soft like butter…o fine that a person should not notice it even if it is put into one’s eyes.”

Finally a feast was ready. Sheets were spread out on the ground. The picnic was set!
