ashu garg(@ashugarg):9/11 was a turning point for many of us. Despite growing up in India, Sudan and Nigeria, all of which are hotbeds of terrorism, 9/11 was different for me. It felt personal, it made me more “American” and it made me really angry with respect to terrorism/terrorism. When I look back, it was a turning point for me, for many of us and for America.
