The way we were

16 July 2007

I like to think that I belong to the last generation of a now rapidly disappearing “old” India. A country where we had one model of car on the streets and one, perhaps two hours of TV a day. My family had its first black and white TV as late as 1985. I would wait [...]

Pain
