Summary
Offering congratulations for the premiere of "The Householder"; confessing that she had been hoping that Merchant and Ivory would invite her and her husband Cyrus to the premiere, and expressing hurt that they did not, especially in light of the presence of Leela Naidu and Shashi Kapoor, and his wife Jennifer; "At any rate, you taught me an excellent lesson-- one I knew already but was tending, in your case, to forget: never get close enough to anyone to give them a chance to hurt you."
