Travel’d Roads (Satis Shroff) Dharma Chettri is a lean young boy,with Causacian features like his Dad, but his lower jaw and fine white teeth betray something of a Mongolian melange, genetically inherited from his Ama, his Mom. He wears a smile that you’d describe as honest and winning. After the winter holidays he always returns from his relatives home in Bombay with a new set of shirts and pants and even pocket-money from his grandpa. The shirts are fancy handloom products, and he’s pretty smartly dressed. His Ama knits him also pullovers with decent patterns.
