At the international level we have become virtually paranoid. The world is filled with dangerous people. Every troublemaker across the globe is a communist.

Well, I've grown up on the tennis circuit which has friendships with people from diverse religions, races, backgrounds and scores of different countries across the globe. I think this experience broadened my horizons. I can comfortably embrace relationships on a personal level while looking beyond narrow constraints.
