Jayshree, thank you for this enchanting story that truly captivated me! I resonate with the childhood memory of consuming freshly churned butter. When I was growing up, my grandparents owned several dairy cows, and we frequently churned our own butter. It was always my favorite treat.

FYI: For those, such as me, of limited familiarity with Indian dress (I know what a sari is but much beyond that, I've got nothin'.), I wikipediaed and "Dhoti: The dhoti, also known as veshti, mardani, dhotar, jaiñboh & panchey, is a type of garment, fastened in between the legs in a manner that it resembles trousers in shape, it may be fitted loosely but other tighter fittings are worn as well. It is most popular in India and Nepal. "

Thanks for this feedback! I had added links to the 'dhoti' and 'saree' in an earlier story - will re-add them here. Saree is in the images as well. Here is a link for dhoti - https://www.tibertaber.com/collections/dhoti-sets

Good, rather good, OK, OK, OK excellent story telling as usual but, "The friend and his wife are oblivious to the fact that their newborn daughter was exchanged for a baby boy shortly after her birth." , inquiring minds (Oh well, at least one, mine.) wonder, do you have any word on what happened to the daughter?
