he’d showered and dressed, he would head to the small altar he’d set up in the kitchen and intone a prayer — his Karaagre Vasate — an invocation to God for the day’s blessings. For some reason, I always kind of felt like I was praying along with him, like I was invoking some grace by proxy.

I needed grace today. I was feeling incredibly empty. The distraction of our trip to Philadelphia was gone, and now I had to find a way to face this house, to face Christian. Hiding in my room was out. Laura and my bank account saw to that. Starting today, I was determined to be back in business, or at least back, and the idea was daunting. It would take some considerable effort to make myself care.

When Raj was finished with his prayers, he padded across the tile floor in his bare feet and stopped at the counter, pouring himself a cup of coffee.

“Could I talk you into coming with me to dinner this week? At my parents’?” he asked. “If I tell Mom I’m bringing you, she’ll make gulab jamen. ”

Still, it had been a goal of mine to learn at least one new Hindi phrase before each time I’d go to visit them, and his father was always immensely pleased with the effort.

When I was a teenager, Raj bought me sheet music for the Indian National Anthem, and I had played it on the piano for his family as a gift for their hospitality. His father had loved me ever since. Mr. Prabodhan had softened considerably over the years. When I’d first met him, he was an imposing figure, stoic and serious-faced, who governed the household with an iron fist. He adhered to traditional ideas of class and societal place despite the relaxing of the caste system in his native country years earlier.
