Mid-east musings, penultimate

I have been not so removed from the years of Mid-east conflict. I went to college with Palestinians. They came to study in my hometown of Pune, which by the 90s had gained the sobriquet, Oxford of the East. I partied with Israelis in Goa. They ran the best raves, brought in the best DJs and if you wanted to trip, as it was in the day, these guys were wicked.
I had family living in Iraq during the war with Iran and some of my best friends are still Iranians, who, to escape the regime, fled to India.
