Journey to India

In our Benaulim Goa hotel, a small Indian woman called to me across the court yard. I looked up and she hurriedly came over to say to me: "You know, I have been looking at you, and you have very excellent features!". I said "why thank you, no one has ever said that to me before".

"Well, they cannot have been looking properly. I have been studying your face, and you have very excellent features. You must have been very beautiful when you were young!". She was beaming.

I thanked her and she hurried off.
