Bilal Salahuddin, 33, is still adjusting to his new nickname of “haji” endowed by his friends and colleagues at his construction firm. Originally from Pakistan, he feels he is a true product of the future, of what this world is becoming — multi-cultural, multi-lingual — and can see why Obama is a voice of the future that can be heard in the present. Bilal feels that people hate change … yet it is the only thing that has brought progress!
