When I entered the house, the old man in the corner didn’t
even look my direction. He uttered no
sound as I was introduced to everyone else.
I figured the years had simply taken their toll. Several minutes into the visit his son stood
over him speaking in Hindi. The old man’s
eyes slowly turned to look at me and he let out a deep belly laugh. “I told him you were American,” his son said. “He
has never seen one before.…only on T.V.” I am happy to be his first.
