Unlike Western hospitality, Indian hospitality is a spiritual duty. In a typical Indian household, if a guest arrives unannounced at meal times, the family will stretch the food to feed the guest, even if it means the host eats less. This is why often focuses on large thalis (platters) and communal eating. It isn't just about food; it is about sacrifice and honor.
This is the most interesting part of the string. In software and media search contexts, "portable" usually refers to software that requires no installation (run from a USB stick) or, in the context of media files, a format optimized for mobile devices or smaller screens.
