Your honour,

I bring you chapter 25 from Saskia's draft novel.

I must point out some inaccuracies in this text. While it is true that traffic in India is less than idyllic, it certainly is not as bad as described. Also, the paan she refers to, is neither a hallucinogenic nor addictive. In its most extreme recipe, paan will have tobacco leaves in it, but no paan in existence would create the effect she describes.

I am beginning to suspect there is a strong anti-India, anti-Asia bias in Mrs. Miller's writing. Was this influenced by her husband's views? Or did it originate spontaneously? We will never know.

Respectfully,

V. Chowdury
