The campus dining halls were closed during holidays, especially for three weeks during Christmas break, and I survived those holidays eating plain bread, banana, and chips. There was no cooking facility in the dormitory. I had no money to eat in a restau- rant.

An additional amount (close to 3,000 dollars) was needed later in the se- mester to pay for the remaining portion of tuition fees and other educational expenses. Unfortunately, I did not even have fifty dol- lars. I didn’t personally know any Keralites in the whole state of Arkansas other than my uncle (mother’s first cousin) who was about 200 miles away. He was a philosophy professor, having only an average salary. Further, I did not want to depend on him financially, having already borrowed money from him for emer- gency needs in previous months. Also, my uncle did not have much money to spare, having to rent a bigger house to accommodate his wife and daughter, who had joined him in America just a few months back. Above all, my dignity did not allow me to approach anybody for fi- nances repeatedly. In those days, scholarships and loans were not available for foreign students at the university.
