EMBASSY OPEN HOUSE 2012




5 May 2012
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.
