what did she whisper to the judge? did she make some kind of an offer to him? of what? is she a v.v.i.p.? you guys are wealthy, aren't you? you eat halwas all the time, even sabzis, and have a sink installed in your verandah! (i remember the photograph you proudly posted once, that featured that sink!)

Barsi is a Hindu ritual for the dead. When he says his mother whispered to the judge he really means his mother's ghost or spirit whispered to the judge. He is of course imagining this taking advantage of the fact that writers have creative license to imagine these kind of scenarios.

currently, my indian, women friends are: 1) a maharashtrian who is married to a kannadiga; she wears nice, subdued, but elegant sarees; 2) a bengal-u.p. person (her parents are from those parts of india) who's married to a european. i've never seen her in a sari. i know only one malayali who's not a relative, and she's an acquaintance, not a friend.

i've only known male northeasterners, and that was at the institute. carole farestone symilieah tried to teach me to play the guitar. thanhuna, a naga, tried to teach me to wear naga woollen leggings in hot old madras, and shoot his tribal bow and arrow.
