Láska v době globálních klimatických změn

The narrator, a scientist, has never been to India. Now he is in Bangalore for a symposium, amid the din, the smells, the chaos of traffic and people, with no defence against any of it, as frightened as a little rabbit even in the safety of his hotel and the conference centre. He dares to go out and reaches a slum, where in a crowd of women in saris he notices a young Indian woman in an ordinary T-shirt and jeans. He photographs her because she is the only thing that does not scare him. She sees him and in fluent English tells him to delete the picture at once. He shrugs, complies and forgets the matter, and that is where the story of xenophobia, racism, the paths of the heart and our fear of change begins.
