My brother, Amrit Singh Bajwa, and I were barreling down the Himalayan Mountains during the 911 Crisis – we had no idea about the “crisis.” The bus was tumbling against the mountainside.
I was sitting next to a Jewish kid who was 23 when I was 33 - he was nice but slightly condescending. (Aside – 60,000 kids vacation in India every year b/c back then it was cheap).
He had no idea that my Great Uncle is the National Hero of India – Bhagat Singh (who Gandhi outed to the Britishers – and had him subsequently hung for Ghandi’s own political expediency).
“Mind you” – there is a 1,000-foot drop on all sides of the road. The bus tumbled down in a spiral pattern down the mountain – my knees were knocking against the steel backdrop and the Jewish kids knees. But, he was sweet: He was nice and kind. And, I learned that all can be learned. However, all “PEOPLE ARE CHOSEN.”
