Just A Thought...
"Drama that came from the necessity to move has been seen to fuel art and some great literature. It was seen in the US and has happened in continental Europe and it will happen here (in India)also," says the writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Ford, who as a teenager had lived in a hotel with 600 rooms owned by his grandfather after the death of his traveling salesman father.
