Prabeen

Prabeen is my host 'mom' in Delhi.
She turns 60 tomorrow.
She was the first feminist in India.
She is defies anything Indian one could imagine.
She speaks her mind.
She is proper and vulgar and completely authentic and genuine at the same time.
Prabeen is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met.

Two days ago Prabeen's nephew died. He was 24. He collapsed while exercising. His father committed suicide in 1997. Still through this grief Prabeen has found time to laugh, joke with me about being American, and drink a few spirits with her girlfriends.
As I said, Prabeen is wonderful.
