Lesley E searches for a new house in Jungpura and finds that she has to answer absurd queries.

The house in O Block was gorgeous. ‘Are you a Christian’, the lady asked, seeing my card. Yes, I said, you could say that. ‘Ek to aap aurat hai aur woh bhi Christian. You must be eating a lot of meat.’ This I was not prepared for. Misogyny and homophobia I know how to handle. No matter how ridiculous it feels [...] Yes, I said, I eat all kinds of meat. ‘How often do you eat it?’ ‘As often as I can’. The broker is making goo-goo eyes at me. I think he wants me to stop speaking. I tell the broker despite their rudeness I will take their house anyway. They tell him out on three counts – woman, Christian, journalist.
