"On weekends, my parents would load me into a papoose on 108th street and take the 1 train to the NR, all the way down to the East Village. Raj Mahal, in typical East Village fashion, was a few steps below ground level, and always had live music in front of the window at the entrance. While we waited for the feast to be laid out on the table, my mother would take me to visit the sitar player, knowing that I would probably be frightened, and expecting a moment of hilarity from me for the friends they had brought with them that night. After many years, the sitar player became a friend, his beard growing increasingly white with every visit downtown on Saturday nights." Natalia Oliveri
