As long as we were with Aunt Bea's restrictions, the sibling could have visited Delhi after 2014, she could have come several times every year, locals wouldn't have complained.
The Delhi citizenry apparently feared a Washington DC-based female professional soccer player, one of the reasons the Alamo Girl had been brought to Delhi, because the Alamo Girl had once played soccer (in high school, good grief!)
It should have been obvious to Antara, "Layers would look really nice on you," a senior hair stylist had told her in Delhi around 2014-2015. Antara ended up looking like someone else (obviously the dark-haired female soccer player) through those years, she didn't have her narrative, what a waste!!!
However, it was a good thing she didn't 'investigate' it, as you might understand.
Had the sibling visited Delhi between 2014 to 2024, she'd have realised that the Washington DC-based female soccer player was five days younger than her, born in the same year, the same month.
She would have also realised that if she was indulged on the Communist side, it was nothing but that, for the mood that STAVKA had apparently shown in dissolving/disintegrating the Soviet Union in 1991 had been beaten when China hosted the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup in 1991, the same year.
"Anjali played ping-pong in college, the Nixon-Kissinger ping-pong diplomacy followed a decade later? Well, there's a free kick to oblivion, from China."
If that was not bad enough, the second FIFA Women's World Cup (1995) was held in Sweden and won by Norway.
Sweden was not even a WWII country!!
Let's go back to the situation as it existed in 1995, Antara and the sibling were standing on the terrace of their Pologround Housing flat, it was around March-April 1995, the sibling lecturing, "From here on, our paths would diverge, we'd go our separate ways, our closeness would come under strain."
Whereas, the sibling ought to have said, "Quick, Sweden was hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup, we'd tell each other everything. Goodness, at least in a WWII country it would have meant the Tagores, this was someone else altogether."
The finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup was held on June 18, 1995, a few months after the above conversation, at the Rasunda Stadium.
Antara remembered a Bengali comic story, quite derogatory about those who "smelled of onions and garlic on bus and train journeys". (It was called 'pyanj-rasun' in the Bengali story.)
That was the problem with Softbank, Aunt Bea, no one was convinced that Ray Cave (CLASS ACT blogpost, April 14, 2026, 'We couldn't always stop for Aunt Bea') didn't get Softbank interested in Afghanistan, through such a lengthy tenure of the Bidens.
Otherwise, good work Germans, you did know how to endanger women like Antara and those around her by gathering around Ray Cave and those that worked with him.
