Of the Iranian and Pakistani consuls...

July 10, 2008
Before one of my performances in Herat, an amusing incident occurred.

The Iranian consul general rang the Indian consulate and inquired about the kind of clothes I was going to wear during my performance. Would I be well-clad or would there be a lot of skin showing? He never did turn up, which amused the Indian consular staff.

The Pakistani consul general was a native of Peshawar. He loved the performance and chatted with me. Quite a few missionaries from India, who work in the hospitals and schools, were present. About 70 people attended my performance in Herat.
