Hi Amrita my friend,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great story...! this is so interesting, I always learn from you.
Wishing you a happy weekend:)
Bye JoAnn/Holland
Hubby was telling me the other day that the elections were over in India. He seemed glad with who was elected. I just hope he does good for the country.
ReplyDeleteHi Amrita:)
ReplyDeleteIt was very thoughtful of you to share the video for the benefit of those who didn't see the swearing in ceremony of the new cabinet headed by our illustrious prime minister Dr.Manmohan Singh.
The photos are lovely.
I hope we will get a stable government for the next five year. Already Karunanidhi is playing his tricks demanding cabinet posts for all his family members.
Have a nice day Amrita:)

Amrita, was this the Congress party leader you were hoping for, or did another party win?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously beautiful building and grounds. We have some lovely buildings in the U.S. but really, I do not think we have the match of the buildings in India, Europe, the Mideast, and Asia! Of course, we are just a "young" country...
It was quite a historic moment.
ReplyDeleteThe Congress Party which i support won.
Penni the particular politian I was referring to also is a Congressman. His name is Shashi Tharoor and he won from the southern state of Kerala. Mr Tharoor was a senior diplomat in the UN for several years.
Our defense Minister, AK Anthony is the only Christian in the cabinet,. He has a Syrian Catholic background but he is an athiest.
Josephji, I was sad to read that AK Anthony is an athiest , he background is similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteMay your daughter have a great time in Nepal Debra
Congratulations on the installation of your prime minister. The pictures you posted are very impressive.
ReplyDeletePraying that he will even do better on his second term.
May God teach him to be a good leader, and may he align with the purposes of God for your nation. It is a big responsibility.
Those are lovely pictures of your Capital.
ReplyDeleteWe just studied the beginning of the nation of India in school. I bet my daughters would love to visit your blog, to put a face to what we've learned.
dear amrita.
