My father, presented me his " The Great Indian Novel" years ago which remained both Dads and my favourite book. I had the chance to meet and host him many years later when he came to The Gambia as Indias candidate for the UN. Three exciting hectic days, and similarly, while we had a cocktail at a popular Indian Restaurant, there was a cricket match on, and his prime interest was in taking a few breaks and moving the conversation to the television conrner. His love for cricket, made me understand the entire Kerala IPL team saga. Here was someone who despite coming from a top knotch job from the UN, could have easily landed equally prestigious jobs while he continued writing, chose to be himself, and rather than call it entering politics. His knowledge on India despite having lived away is immense and evident from his books. A lot of his critics think of him as a difficult hotshot, pampered nouveau riche Congress man, but he is there because he wants to do something to improve India. Id say he brought some common sense to the scene. A lot of hard work. I met him once again in New Delhi at a meeting he arranged for us Honorary Consuls to meet, as our Foreign Minister for State. In his very short tenure, cut abrubtly by a gross ignorance of the English language, by circles that politically matter due to his frank and transparent nature, his immediate goal was to reach out to Africa where he had independent charge. Africa benefitted. Later, as an MP from Kerala, he has striven to improve Thiruvanadapuram, and has been extremely transparent while doing so tirelessly. In a strange way, I see him as a representative of the Aam Aadmi and wonder why we have such a polarised divide.<br />As an Indian citizen, I want a nation that we can be proud of. Of leaders and people who look down on corruption. Shashi Tharoor is one such person and am sure he will succeed in his endeavours.<br />I can say that you too have been lucky to have had a mentor like him. <br />Ram Mohan<br />www.cii.gm<br />www.dustbin-by-ram.blogspot.comRamMohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873110557067030844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720363917635414021.post-65265266872081764412014-03-21T13:13:40.517-07:002014-03-21T13:13:40.517-07:00Very good writing Miss Reeti.
