<\/a><\/p>\n\u201c\u2018Enough of this nonsense. I assisted a ten-hour surgery and my legs are killing me. I have another surgery scheduled at six. You find him another place. If he does not go, I\u2019ll throw him out.\u2019\u201d I heard him push the suitcase out of the room.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018All right. I must talk about it with the hospital administrator in the morning. Dr. Kishore, I will show you to the doctors\u2019 lounge. There is a reclining chair which you can use.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was calm for some time. As the Eastern sky lightened, patients awoke, and I heard them moan and complain. The nurses dispensed medicines. Food Service served breakfast to patients. The ward woke up to a beehive of activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was curious about the young man from India. I slowly went to the lounge in my wheelchair and joined him. He stood at the window and watched the scene outside. It was cloudy and tiny snowflakes floated down like petals of jasmine from heaven. A few flakes fell on the window sill and made whispering sounds. A thin layer of soft snow covered the road below like a white carpet.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Kishore faced me. \u201c\u2018I\u2019m from Bengaluru and had never seen anything like this. What a beautiful scene.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s unusual to snow so early in July. It won\u2019t last. I didn\u2019t sleep last night, I overheard what happened.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Don\u2019t worry about it, Sir. Some people are inconsiderate. In our country, before independence, there were 565 Princely States and rulers. There was no unity and they fought among themselves, so people from outside could conquer and rule India. We still haven\u2019t learned. Instead of helping a fellow Indian, this doctor was ready to throw me out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Not everyone is like Dr. Rahul. Don\u2019t take it seriously. Look to the right. Do you see the tall statue in the harbor? She is the Statue of Liberty. She stands for freedom, hope and opportunity for people seeking a better life. You\u2019ll be all right here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI took a piece of paper and wrote my name, address and phone number and gave it to Dr.\u00a0Kishore. \u2018If you need help call me. If you don\u2019t find a good apartment, you can stay with us until\u00a0you settle down.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t call me \u2018Sir.\u2019 I am Kamalesh.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter I was discharged from the hospital Dr. Kishore visited us several times. A couple of years went by.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grandpa paused.<\/p>\n
