...choice was the most difficult I have ever had to make. And in some way, I know my choice disappointed my family at the time.I grew up in a Fordham family. My parents met and married at Fordham. Both uncles on my father’s side are Fordham Rams, as are both of my brothers, my sister, one cousin, and countless friends. Our family made frequent trips to Fordham and passed by the campus whenever we visited the Bronx Zoo or the New York Botanical Garden. I watched my first live college basketball games at Rose Hill Gymnasium...

"None of us supports the king, but we have to earn our living too," he says. Like all his neighbors, Tulsi Ram keeps the shutter of his shop...
...neighborhood of Gangabu, another hotbed of protests, the police have just fired rubber bullets and tear gas at protestors, and many have scattered. Ram Bahadur, a stone cutter, is watching the protestors flee from behind the safety of the wire-mesh screen in his backyard. He is surrounded by large pieces of marble, which he cuts for people building their houses - white marble, good for making stairs, and imitation green mable for the kitchens. Since the movement began, though, no one has bought any marble. "I want all this to end, I'll tell you that," he mumbles...
