Here is an anecdote that cannot be forgotten!
I remember the time we visited the magnificent Dilwara temples in Mount Abu, Rajasthan. While walking around, a complete stranger came up to me and said “So you are from Canada? Here with two kids and your mother and you work for so and so.. company right? How is returning to India every year to meet family?”
I was shocked! Who is this man and how does he know so much about us?! It later turned out that you exchanged some pleasantries with him in passing, and ended up exchanging life stories- as was often the case with you and strangers!
