Lovely essay, Ila. So many interesting TILs but a drink named Mamata was the highlight. Puts an entirely new spin on politics in my home state.

[Ila Reddy]

Hahaha! Maybe we need to give didi a drink

Oh how lucky!!! This place is on my list. Also thank you for sharing stories beyond the samba and the celebratory spirit of Rio.
