EMBASSY OPEN HOUSE
My third open
house at this Embassy. I remember last year I quoted Sorojini Naido to describe
the festive mood that prevails at the Embassy premise during the open house. After a hiatus of several months
I am trying to return to my blog by writing something on the Open House.
For my daughter
(now three and a quarter years old) Ushashi today is the day to have henna
tattoo on her hands and wrists. For my wife Swarna, this is an opportunity to
have a glance on the food and fancy ornaments from other countries that she has
not visited yet. For myself, it was a good meeting some foreigners who somehow
nurture interests in unknown place and people. I had a chat with William Francis, an
Associate Deputy Administrator of US Department of Agriculture. He showed a
keen interest in our garment and jute sectors.
