It was mid-February, I was in Mumbai for a three day visit. Previously I spent a week in Goa, but now I was staying at a backpacker’s motel in Kurla... having only about $220 in cash left in my budget which was fine because I was due to fly out back to the States soon anyway. That morning, I left the motel with only $100 for a quick stroll around the markets. However, when I got back, I found that all my belongings including my plane tickets were gone.

Finally she put both her hands on my lower back, pushing me out of the kitchen.“Hit the recliner, bud,” she said. “So I’ll have a place to curl up.”I like that. Me in the recliner, kicked back, finally shed of my work shoes, Lena a perfect fit, curled in my arms.“Lemme have the remote. We need music,” she said. I delivered it to.
