labor strike, everything closed down, not even the buses running. But you can't really blame them, can you? After all, factory workers have to eat too.

Mrs. Dutta knows that Mrs. Basu, who has been her closest friend since they both moved to Ghoshpara Lane as young brides, cannot be fobbed off with descriptions of Fisherman's Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge, or even with anecdotes involving grandchildren.

(Later Mrs. Dutta was saddened to learn that the forest was merely a backdrop in a studio in California, where real trees did not turn such colors.)

She knew she should not store unclean clothes in the same room where she kept the pictures of her gods. That would bring bad luck. And the odor.
