For David...

Homecoming still is a great feeling in the times of
`The Global Soul', I hope you agree. I remember this
book `The Global Soul by Pico Aiyer - an author with
Indian parents, born in England, having spend most of
his time in the US, and now staying in Japan. He says
there is noting called a home for the global msoul, if
there is - it's the new age airport. But I dissagree,
and your mail supports my point of view. There is a
home, one that is always calling you from within.
Anyway, your Simla has over the time has become
Shimla, and if in the pre-independence days it were
the white rulers who made to the newspaper headlines,
now we have their ghosts foing the same. I remember
(being a journalist) several stories titles something
like `Haunted houses in Shimla', or simpley `Imperial
ghosts'. But besides the spirits, there are the living
ghosts too in the city waiting for their time. But
Shimla's saviour is certainly the globetrotter - the
one who is looking for his roots, here and there
(Shimla included), and that's what gives this town its
new identity - it's the place from where the mighty
Bitish once rules India. And it's true, the town makes
you feel so.

Regards,
Sanjay
