VIKRAIVI SETH AND ED
SMITH
I first met Ed when he was about sixteen. I was at his
father’s house but I don’t remember much about Ed then — he was just the son of
my old English teacher. His dad invited me to stay the night so I had Ed’s room
and I think Ed slept on the sofa. The next morning I wrote him a poem to say
thank you.
Years later I was in Australia and I got a call saying,
“Can I meet you? In India, if your friend’s child phones up and asks if they
can meet you, the answer is “yes”, no question. So I couldn’t say no and I’m
happy I didn’t. I like Ed and I admire him in many ways.
Ed is young and old at the same time. He’s outgoing and
adventurous and also very independent and hard-working. He wants to do his best
in life.
It’s difficult to say why we’re friends. We don’t ask a
lot of each other, we just enjoy our friendship. Whenever I meet him it’s
interesting.
