SUMMARY This piece narrates the first meeting between an anthropologist and a man dedicated to developing a curiosity center in New York City. As the encounter unfolds, the complexities of the Indian diasporic experience, the emotions of field research, the paradoxes of a man's autobiography, and the concept of curiosity together animate the tale.
