And my mother, brave lady, was partly to blame, taking me to the New York Natural History Museum, buying me books on snakes, and then starting this infamous career of mine, which has culminated in of course, arriving in India 60 years ago, brought by my mother, Doris Norden, and my stepfather, Rama Chattopadhyaya.
I moja je majka, hrabra žena, dijelom zaslužna za to, jer me vodila u Prirodoslovni muzej u New Yorku, kupovala mi knjige o zmijama sve dok nisam počeo ovu svoju ozloglašenu karijeru, koja je kulminirala, naravno, dolaskom u Indiju prije 60 godina, gdje me dovela moja majka, Doris Norden, i moj očuh, Rama Chattopadhyaya.
