I met Rahul and Amit during my first week at Trinity College. I can still remember those moments distinctly. Rahul was wearing the characteristic Sikh turban, and Amit was standing right next to him when I bumped into them in the middle of the main quad.
"Hi, I am Shahvar", I introduced myself.
"Are you from Bombay?" Rahul questioned, which I would discover later was his typically inquisitive, yet diplomatic style, mistaking me for another incoming freshman from his town.
"No I am from Lahore", I corrected him proudly, displaying the typical pride that Lahoris take in flaunting their citizenship.
