One day, he invited me to his home for a meal. His wife was horrified at the idea of Muslim boy
being invited to dine in her ritually pure kitchen. She refused to serve me in her kitchen. Siva Subramania
Iyer was not perturbed, nor did he get angry with his wife, but instead, served me with his own hands
and sat down beside me to eat his meal. His wife watches us from behind the kitchen door. I wondered
whether she had observed any difference in the way I ate rice, drank water or cleaned the floor after the
meal. When I was leaving his house, Siva Subramania Iyer invited me to join him for dinner again the
next weekend. Observing my hesitation, he told not to get upset saying “Once you decide to change the
system, such problems have to be confronted. “When I visited his house the next week, Siva Subramania
Iyer’s wife took me inside her kitchen and served me food with her own hands.
