Here, There, and Everywhere

I sit in a hotel room in Mumbai, the sun setting, the evening BBC World News muted on the TV, listening online to NPR’s “Morning Edition,” reading tonight this morning’s New York Times and Washington Post. I just happened this afternoon to have bought a copy of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, in which he muses on the relativity of time and space, as I experience it in real time and real space.
