  • Travels-With-The-Fis
    TRAVELS with the FISH C Y Gopinath Introducing the Fish Nothing is so little fun as seeing the world all by yourself. Quixote had his Sancho, Graham Greene had his aunt, and Phineas Fogg had his Passepartout. So it is a matter of some regret for me to admit, in this very first paragraph, that I have seldom had the pleasure of an interesting travelling companion in my numerous expeditions inside and out of India. I have missed the presence of someone thoughtful and acerbic, someone who could match insight for insight, who was attentive to the foibles and madnesses of foreign folk in their very foreign lands, someone with whom one could together relish morsels of alien culture. It is my pitiful good fortune that the person who comes closest to being a travelling companion of sorts is the gentleman whom I have come to think of as the Fish. We met first on a flight to the Middle East. He was in the seat adjoining mine, offending everyone with his particular acrid brand of cigarette. He was south Indian, like me, but differed in a key respect — he cordially hated travelling. He had always found it much more pleasurable to undertake imaginary journeys in which he could dictate and design everything from the departure schedule to the destination. XII TRAVELS WITH THE FISH We got talking when I began to get interested in the Arabic in-flight announcements. Believe me, this is a thrill, especially for fellows like me who have never heard any sort of Arabic before.
