In some peculiar way, indeed, the rules were now beginning to seem quite logical. It was then I knew that I had been in India long enough.

Through bitter experience I have learned that it is best to promise little and then to reward hard work with generosity.

A journey, I reflected, is of no merit unless it has tested you.
