The G20 mega event was India's shining hour!

It was the result of the hard work put in by PM Narendra Modi and his team. The world has come to realise as to what all needs to be done when a country assumes the presidency of the grouping. By making the African union the 21st member, our PM has redeemed his promise! 

Vasudeiva Kudumbakam at its best. Am listing out the various thrust areas listed out, to make this world a better place to live in.   

The Delhi Declaration

     xenophobia, racism or in the name of religion or belief.

My take

What a huge canvas?!


Tailpiece.

Got up at a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by 10.

A quiet Sunday.

To the town in the evening to fetch our fruit basket and fish for the cats.
