2. My babcia and prababcia always had a warm place in their heart for the people of India.

   She used to like telling me stories of how after leaving the Soviet Concentration Camp in Kazakhstan they made their way to India, starving. When they arrived in a village, the locals treated them like their own family and shared with them them what little food they had as well as fresh, ripe mangos.

   It was the first time in her life she had ever tried them and until the day she died she always loved them as they reminded her of how friendly and accommodating the people of India were.

   If only we could only learn to be good to each other.
