Indian Government

Airport, New Delhi, 11:30 p.m.

“You are from Egypt,” the man checking my airport at custom said after glancing at my passport. How in the world does he know that? “I’m..well..yeah, my parents are…I um..I’ve never been a citizen…” I trail off…I never went to Egypt with this new passport, there are no visas there. My birthplace is Missouri. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how he knew I was Egyptian in origin. Lucky guess based on my looks? The Indian government is omniscient?
