On August 4, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany, joining France, and the Allies after Germany invaded Belgium. Britain urgently needed manpower, and they looked across their vast empire for soldiers. India, their most important colony, became one of the largest sources of recruits.

The slippers are still by the bed. The walker is still at the foot of it, waiting for a hand that won’t touch it again. Everything is exactly as she left it the night before. A few weeks ago, my grandmother, my last living grandparent, passed away in her sleep, peacefully. It was both expected

San Francisco’s famous summer fog rolled in, covering the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, like a final curtain coming to veil the city’s weirdos and rejects. From where we were sitting, it was the perfect view for the end of our strange day. We were bored kids from the Central Valley, fleeing the summer

Growing up in an Indian household, I witnessed firsthand the emphasis placed on academic achievement. In my own house, and in the homes of fellow Indians.
