" When my grandfather's brother first ventured into international territory, to Japan, in the 1930s, he had come back and bow in apology before the caste elders, turban in his hands. But his nephews—my father and my uncle—kept moving, first to Bombay and then across the black water to Antwerp and New York, to add to what was given to them...In my family, picking up and going to another country to live was never a matter for intense deliberation. You went where your business took you. "
