there is something wrong with kid's liver and something else with his kidneys and altogether his insides are in a terrible state. it is due said dr goal to bad wrong food and to bad wrong living. you see, he tried to explain busy as he is. he always welcomes english conversation. this climate does not suit you people too well and let alone you people. it does not suit even us. he explained to me that not only westerners but even most indians suffer from amoebic dysentery, they hardly know it for. they also suffer from many other diseases. he became eloquent as he emun rated all the diseases of india. it was indeed a terrible roll call. and by the time he came to the end of it, if there is an end, he said, i think perhaps god never meant that human beings should live in such a place here. i contradicted him and we had a discussion on this theme in english. he has already told me that while at medical college, he was a member of the debating society and distinguished himself at several inter university debates. he is indeed skilled at spicing truth with humor and this is how he concluded our discussion. let us admit for the sake of our argument that we indians are fit to live here. where else are we fit for? he asked, leaving a pause for me to laugh in, but no one else. he said none of you, you know, in the bad old days, you had your clubs and they were reserved for british only. well, now it is like this, that we have our germs and we have reserved this for ourselves only for indians only keep out. he threw himself back in his chair to laugh and was still laughing as he turned to jab a needle into an emaciated arm that was held out to him. of course, to some extent, i have to admit he is right. certainly, as far as chit is concerned, obviously, chit's body is not made to live the life of an indian holy man. and it is not only physically, the chid is out of action, but in other ways spiritually too, do the doctor's scriptures apply to the european soul as well as our bodies. i don't want to admit it. i don't want it to be so.
