My grandfather was born in 1890 in Chennai, India (then Madras).  
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the date of his birth, that he was born as far back as the 1800's while still only being my grandfather.  That he was born and raised in such a mysterious place as India fascinates me like the stars, but more than the stars do. 


Phantom India is a documentary from the late 60's by Louis Malle.  It is the stranger exposed for the first time to the older than old systems of a strange land.  If I run into you soon I'll try to talk about anything else.
