    I can't remember which speech you did but it made a lasting mark upon me. I recall thinking "great! we have to to an Indian!" and then I heard you. Young man, you are more American than 99.9% of the people I have known or heard through print, tv, air waves. Proud to call you brother. PS because of you, I now see (see dot) Indians as worthy people, not just telemarketers, doctors, hotel and gas station owners. [eliminating bias, prejudice, fear, and jealousy requires rising above ourselves and that is not easy or popular]. Thank you. I sure hope adulthood has been kind to you.♡

    Nicely done, Ashwath. Dynamic tension, indeed.
