We haven't met many people who walk into a restaurant on a sunny afternoon and know what to order right away. But then we meet Parmesh Shahani — who heads Godrej India Culture Lab and knows his meal before the menu arrives — and sculptor and educator Durga Gawde — who is quick to reveal the secret. Khichdi, with less oil, mixed with Caeser salad sans dressing. So, we aren't surprised, when Shahani tells us that the two met seven janams ago. "What? You don't believe in rebirth?" he quizzes us. Even though they only met last year at this very place, we think we agree that this is indeed the "seventh janam".
