I gave Jagath a souvenir — a Raffles Hotel Sikh Guard keychain — and he showed it to his new co-father-in-law.

"He made another lighthearted comment about being a colonizer."

When I was growing up at Jagath's house with Chadu

They had a desktop computer in the middle of the house, outside Wagisha's room

Chadu and I were on it

He had downloaded an Eminem song using Ares, a peer-to-peer file-sharing program

He was going to show me "Yellow Brick Road"

But he didn't

Because it contained language that wasn't appropriate
