It is not the mourning I hear, or the coughs. It is the silence that emanates from my brother’s coffin as it is lowered into the ground ever so carefully, almost as if everyone else knows how fragile my brother is.

It isn’t until he is sitting by the driveway of Anthony’s house, in this dingy, almost-broken rented car, that George fully realises he has made the trip here.

In the bright of day, there was a man dressed in an oversized trench coat that was covered with mended patches. He had a white beard, covered with grime, clearly not well taken care of. Everyone's nose crinkled as he pushed his supermarket trolley filled with trash down the crowded streets

It was a late November evening and Panditji, as people of the parish fondly called him, was getting ready to step out for his evening walk. His crisp yellow kurta and wide flared pyjama, a khaadi jacket, a monkey cap - folded up, as it wasn't December yet. He contemplated whether to wrap the muffl ज्यादा पढ़ें...

The year was 1966. The venue was at the Padang. Crowds were filling in fast from every corners of the field. To say that it was packed was really an understatement. There was practically no space for anyone to breathe. Even for him.
He was there. He had to be there. He had ज्यादा पढ़ें...
