Read Amitav Ghosh's "The Glass Palace". I am not going to explain, just trust me. After you are done, put the book down and take a deep breath. Check if you have a tear in your eye. If you dont, you are a cold machine who will die loveless and alone. Wipe the tear away, turn on the news and wait for the latest death toll from Burma.
If the number is higher than 100,000 please send a donation to Oxfram. I will. This book has made me feel like I have spent half my life in Rangoon listening to jokes, drinking tea, loving and suffering with the most beautiful, smiling, sarong wearing people on earth.
