------------- the city of immortals.
Globetrotting brings me to Washington D.C.
Even as I wander the hallowed lawns of power – amongst monuments to great men with immortal names, Achilles comes to my mind.
Achilles who, between “death and an immortal name” on one hand and “a long happy (but dull) life with loved ones” on the other, chose the first.
In this city I am confronted by people who crave for fame at the expense of family – at amazing odds and with no guarantees (and they say Vegas is their gambling capital).
I wonder what I’d do given the same choice??
