About Me

"I had been drawn back to the land of my father to serve the Dalits of North India for a short time. Only my eyes beheld more poverty and deprivation that I could ever forget. The visions of children making their living in the garbage, and the cry of hopes and dreams in the eyes of the young and old compel me to return again and again. Somehow, I had become the big brother to orphans with a love for them so strong I can barely put it into words. I had become my father's son."
