I don't know how fifty years or so might have changed people, but you characterize Indians and Kenyans well...and yes, we do have a lot to learn from them--hakuna matata.

Five (5) generations have , since, made this our home.

Lovely, evocative writing and so many lessons for India. Thanks for sharing an aspect of a part of the world that I have no intimate knowledge of except for my roommate in college who was from Kenya and embodied all the qualities of generosity and gentleness that you describe.Sanjay Kewlaninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064675412765881037.post-79694000102331876732012-04-25T06:08:37.425+05:302012-04-25T06:08:37.425+05:30Wonderful insights and beautifully written! There ...Wonderful insights and beautifully written! There is much to learn from every culture and place in the world... and we can all borrow a piece or two and incorporate in our lives. What makes this special is it comes from a so-called "underdeveloped" part of the world. I am still in somewhat of a shock about how Africa and Africans are perceived in India - from my trips to the foreign office in Bangalore.
