One of two sons living with their elderly parents near Kileswar, Gujarat. They tend buffalo for milk, churning it into butter with a wooden paddle — a process I attempted, causing much laughter, although after a couple of false starts I did get the knack. The family lives alone near a lake in which Lord Krishna bathed millennia ago. Muggers (crocodiles) inhabit the lake; at night leopards hunt in the dry and thorny hills. A place on the edge of the present; not quite here yet not fully in the past. And what of the future?
