Farewell, Harpaul


Our favorite driver, Harpaul, whose love for the U.S. was eclipsed only by his love for the gerund, quit his job on Monday to go work for a "surgical instruments factory." This was devastating for everyone -- among his many kind gestures, Harpaul happily drove us to the wine shop after stressful days and placed jasmine bought from the street vendors over the car vents to make the drive more soothing. He also tried to teach us Hindi.





Some vital statistics:

Age: 22
Married: Yes
Kids: 2
Likes: When ma'ams our happy
Dislikes: When ma'ams are sad, pedestrians
Favorite Movie: Titanic

On his last day, we gave him money and a picture of the four of us with our signatures on the back. We also gave him this framed picture (above) of himself, which he loved. We will be missing you, Harpaul-Ji.
