We had the luxury of two houses in Delhi: the 'Country House' in Malaviyanagar which was Papa's quarters, where we stayed, & the 'Town House' in Chanakyapuri, Mummy's quarters in Karnataka Bhavan, where we came home from school in the afternoon.
 In 1986, we moved to the karnataka Bhavan house fulltime.
