Based on an original story by Nilambri Singh Ghai, Mela's Lunch is about the unsteady beginnings of a friendship between Mela and Allison. Having just immigrated to Canada from India, Mela is trying hard to make friends and get used to her new surroundings. Peter and other classmates make her feel unwelcome and out of place. At first, Allison goes along with the group. This drama shows that differences in skin colour and country of origin need not be an obstacle to friendship or self-esteem.
