'This comic traces back to a childhood memory, recently recalled by my neighbour and myself. Through several games of house-house, we would go to office together, make tea, spend time together after work, and he would voice his opinion on being a house husband. He believed his college in Bombay had made him a feminist until I narrated this memory to him. Ironically, there is an awkwardness in communication when we now see each other across the road.'
