Spent part of the morning in a small thatch hut just on the edge of town listening to stories, like just how was it that Genesh got to have the head of an elephant (well there was actually a big fight between Shiva and Pavarti, etc.). And while I was listening, the wife was preparing milk tea on a wood fire outside...gas seems to be expensive. Three sons, 16, 17. 19, were, one by one, waking up in their bed in the one room house and said "Good morning". A large 36 inch t.v. was on (they were getting cable because otherwise there is just one channel). The sound was turned way down...as the father kept insisting. The sons took turns channel surfing and even the mother, when she switched to cutting onions on a small metal instrument, turned on a favorite movie. So my question was "Who's listening to whose stories?"
