This is a record of my journey to discover an unfamiliar place. In my early thirties, I moved to a small town in the American Midwest for work. I was born and raised in rural Bengal, India, where my forefathers spent their entire lives. Needless to say, this transition introduced me to a vastly different world. Like many, I grew up exposed to American pop culture, movies, television, and pop songs. This gave me a misguided sense of security, as if I already knew the place. But the America I arrived in was much quieter, slower, more withdrawn, and more distant.
