Description

It was the groaning and the moaning and the grunting and the gasping that got to me. I had returned to my home in Delhi after seven years. My bedroom was separated by a solid 10" brick wall from theirs. Theirs meaning Pradip and Manju Gupta's. I had never heard these sounds--the moaning and the groaning, the gasping and the grunting--from their side before. Pradip was 65, Manju was 57. They were both on the heavy side. Very heavy side. I could not believe that they could be at it like this. They were my first cousins.The following day I spoke to another first cousin, Chander, about it. He asked me to go tell them to go Hit It. I had never heard of this term before. It seemed to be a typically Indian term that I had missed during my long years of wilderness in the West. I thought better of doing than that. I thought about asking Chander to go and tell Pradip and Manju to go and Hit It himself. After all, he was more their age group than I was. And he was as much a first cousin to them as I was. And finally it was his idea.Manju and I were ten years apart. She was very fair and always on the heavy side even when she had married into the family some 40 years ago. My older sister, Sumati, used to poke fun at her that she had a double chin. But my sister had her own complexes. She was dark.Only in my twenties did I start finding Manju attractive. Her arms used to be tanned. I used to love that. But I still was not sexually attracted to her. In 2008, I visited India after three years. I met Manju in front of her husband and her father-in-law. She at once asked me, don't I look different to you? I was bewildered. She looked the same. Same same as Indians would say. She said that she had lost weight and had quit eating sweets. Then Pradip and she and I went to Lodhi Gardens in Delhi for a walk. Pradip disappeared on the pretext of going to the loo. I later learned that he wanted to gauge if I would hit on Manju. Why? That's for later.A strange man was following Manju and me at night that day. He was with a woman. Finally we met up with him at the end of our walk. He was Anil, another and the oldest first cousin of mine. The woman with him was his wife, Meena. I was newly divorced then. Meena said that they were stalking us to figure out which woman I was with. Wow, this was some kind of FBI or the Indian version of it, the CBI. I couldn't walk in public gardens without having close tabs kept on me. Pradip magically reappeared. Said that he had been lost in the loo. Lost in the loo, ha? For one hour?We drove back home and I thought no more of the incident. Now it was 2015. I was visiting India after seven years. I had developed a crippling fear of flying in the meantime, so took the boat from the US to India. It took all of two months. There was nothing do on ship except eat and go to the gym. That's precisely what I did. I must have bulked up. Manju came to my house the day I landed in India. She exclaimed, wow, you have built your body.I was given a bedroom on the second floor to live in. I was completely disoriented. I knew nobody. I was lonely like hell. I used to get up at 8, have breakfast and then sleep until lunch at 1. I didn't know how to pass the time. India looked scary. There were people everywhere. They spoke a different lingo than I did. One cousin's wife, Anju, told me that I had returned to India to protect my inheritance (viraasat sambhaalney aiyey ho). I had never even thought about my inheritance. I had come back to India to look after my aged mom. Such a noble sentiment, right? But in India people didn't believe it.Anju further said that I should flick off my American past and turn on my Indian future. Most women in India still leave their houses after marriage to live with their in-laws. I told, Anju, are they expected to forget all that was in their parents' house at once? But Anju was kinda stupid and stubborn.
