Tales Of A Bengali Searching For The Puri Beach Magic

November 10, 1871. A hill outside Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, deepest Africa.
Famous scholar-explorer Henry Morton Stanley enters a tent, where he meets a dapper gentleman sipping tea and reading The Statesman.
"Dr Livingstone, I presume," he asks.
The gentleman puts down his newspaper and Stanley suddenly realizes that his brown skin is natural, and not the result of too much time spent in the sun.
"It's Dr Lahiri, actually," he says. "Livingstone's in that tent over there. May I tempt you with a biscuit, old chap?"
