It is true that you have to know an East Indian or have your ear pressed to the ground to know about happenings within the community — where to buy fugias from, where and when the next fest is, and which home kitchen enterprise makes the best handmade breads. So, while all might seem quiet on the outside as you cross St Andrew’s College in Bandra this Saturday, much beyond the gates and within the building, the atmosphere in the college’s cafeteria will be teeming with lively chatter and the aromas of every East Indian dish you can think of.
