Death in San Francisco
By Sujit Saraf
Naveen Chandra Gupta of San Francisco has died, leaving behind an unusual request in his will: that he be cremated on the shore with the “proper rites and ceremonies,” used in India in the past. As his family and friends friends struggle to honor his last wish, they learn a little about him, a little about themselves, and a lot about what it means to be an Indian in America.
