How One Selfless Student Changed Everything in a Single Moment
It was 2 a.m. on a silent highway, the kind of quiet that makes you feel completely alone.
Our old car had just died. No signal. No passing traffic. Just me, my wife Amrita, and the heavy uncertainty of the night stretching endlessly ahead of us.
