Life of pi
Pi calls him Mamaji, an Indian term that means respected uncle. He was actually his father's good friend. He taught Pi to swim. His uncle loved a Parisian pool called the Piscine Molitor. He describes the pool: ‘If you want your son to have a clean soul, you must take him one day to swim in the Piscine Molitor.’
