The beautiful chimneys and caves of Cappadocia come with historic appendage. Legend has it that early Christians - in order to escape persecution at the hands of the pagans - built their secret churches in these very caves. As we check out the cave churches at Göreme, we come across a fresco of ‘The last supper.’ I ask young Anshuman Jha whether he knows the name of the disciple who betrayed Jesus. He doesn’t, he tells me; but he would be willing to guess if I gave him some options. The wife is of the opinion that if he can’t answer straightaway, options wouldn’t help either. Not that one likes to contradict the better half but this is too good to let go by. Hence, I lay out the options before AJ. “The disciple who betrayed Jesus was a) Banwarilal b) Kailashchand c) Judas “ Guess what! The boy gets it right.
