The story revolves around a visit to Preeti's home, where her mother, affectionately referred to as "Aunty," insists on serving an abundance of delicious parathas topped with butter. The narrator feels overwhelmed by the amount of food and is hesitant to express his appreciation for the dishes, fearing it might lead to more servings. He observes Preeti's mother, contemplating how her weight might affect Preeti in the future. While dealing with the pressure of eating, the narrator also encounters a glass of Lassi that Aunty prepared. Preeti cleverly assists the narrator by drinking half of the Lassi, allowing him to finish the remaining portion from the same spot, leaving a mark of her lips on the glass. Their shared laughter over the situation reveals a light-hearted bond between them. As the narrator prepares to leave, he acknowledges Aunty's blessings and receives a playful warning from Preeti about the dim stairway. The story captures themes of friendship, family dynamics, and the humorous struggles of navigating social expectations surrounding food.
