Today's conversation with Jannat.....
Jannat starts the conversation with an impossible demand as no one in her family owns a phone.
"You will give me your number while you are in America."
"I will not give you our phone number in America."
"You do not know it?"
"No, once my husband gave out his number and someone called in the night. Late. They did not understand that America was having a different time."
"Oh."
"It is night there now."
"No. Not night. giggle. Look outside it is day."
"Oh yes right now it is two in the night."
"No, it is day."
"You know the earth is round."
"Yes."
"See my nose, it is India, see my braid it is America. My head is round like the ground (earth) The light bulb is the sun. When my nose is facing the sun then...."
"America is seeing the chand*."
"Yes."
"giggle" "It is a strange thing that."
"Yes."
