A 5-minute drive from their home in Bandra, Godrej
Nature’s Basket on Hill Road is Rai’s preferred choice
of convenience store, and she finds herself amongst
its grocery-laden aisles every other day. She reveals
that Vihaan and Shivansh eagerly accompany her on
these trips because she leaves them in charge of the
cart, and they know exactly where all of their favourite
foods are stocked. An added incentive for them is the
free tidbits that are doled out by assistants who are
eager to promote new items. Rai laments that the boys
always succumb to these marketing tactics, convincing
her to buy bagsful of food. She has managed to make
peace with it, as she also uses these trips to teach the
boys how to recognise vegetables, the varieties of fish
and even different types of succulents, so it ends up
being a win-win for all those involved.2 P.M. GODREJ NATURE’S BASKET
