A superlative cook
Every Saturday Mridu-di cooked for Sri Aurobindo. At one time she used to cook for him every day. Then afterwards other cooks got the opportunity, and she was allowed to cook only once a week. She used to make eggplant and other dishes. If she heard that Sri Aurobindo had not eaten her food, intentionally she used to cry and scream very loudly. Her house was right across the street from the house where Sri Aurobindo lived.
