meeting Charlie at Crossroads Mall

Charlie and I meet at Crossroads Mall every week to discuss current events and then read some thought provoking spiritual literature. I love melting pot of nationalities that occurs at Crossroads Mall.

There is a giant chessboard that you have to walk around to play. The players might have language barriers, but that is okay. Chess can easily be played without talking. There are Russians, Paki’s, Indians, Chinese, SE Asians, Americans and more all playing well together.

It is ironic watching the melting pot effect at the mall. Here, Pakistanians and Indians are perceived as being close cousins and neighbors. In their home country, they are mortal enemies ready to go to nuclear war over Kashmir.

I am grateful to leave a nice place where we can all get along that has a nice community meeting place to eat, chat and people watch.
