timing

years ago...9/11...citibank guys just arrived in the lobby...the turn of heads.

cnn. just watching.

the numbness.

people slowly sitting down.

an awkward, "you don't know. you dont know."

silence.

...

We couldn't get home until the 22nd...Raj would put me back on the plane back to India the day we started dropping bombs on Afghanistan.

...

I am sitting in the same lounge...the same chair...the same view out the window as years prior.
