Are you happy the BJP and Modi won the Indian elections?

@DavidMcCann: The middle-class numbers are steadly increasing.

Don't agree with Modiji. 4000 invited. Arrangements in open. No provision for cover. There could be rain. Sand bearing surface winds. If rain comes, all rush to Darbar Hall where only 500 can be accommodated, the weather being what it is. The rest would stand in the Rashtrapati Bhawan corridor. Who gets into Darbar Hall? Or it would be a rush like in Delhi buses - whoever first gets in. The rest will be served refreshments in the corridors. Is there a VVIP menu and a Common man's menu? :(

Menu: The menu for high tea on the North Court and the South Court will include sandwiches, dhokla, kebabs, patties, imarti, kachauri, wafers, biscuits, cold drinks and tea.

The menu for the general public at the forecourt, .. Their menu will be almost the same as the VVIP menu with the exception of kebabs, sandwiches and dhoklas. Arrangements are being made to cater to approximately 3,000 people which would also include protocol staff.

Can't India offer a common menu including dhoklas and kebabs? Why this difference. Very 'foolish Indianish' rather than 'wise-Indianish'. 'Atithi devo bhava' (A guest is no less than God). When we invoke Gods and Goddesses, is the menu for Shiva different from that of Ashwini Kumaras? I hope the event is concluded without any problem.

Hiraba (Modi's mother) and Jasodaben (Modi's wife whom he abandoned 46 years ago since he took up nation building. Not divorced, Indian wife, only death can dissolve the relationship. It has been years since he met her) might attend. Perhaps a reconcilliation. Very happy about that.

Well, there was no rain or storm. Everything went all right. Modi assumed the charge as the Prime Ministe of India. He inducted a 45 member cabinet. Now to business. Modi meets Nawaz Sharif tomorrow and the heads of the other neighboring countries as well. I hope the guests liked the Gujarati 'Khaman Dhokla'. But it must have been a torture for foreign dignitaries sitting for more than one and a half hour listening to the oaths repeated 45 times.

"The senior one was an enthusiastic participant. The younger one mostly remained quiet, but his body language conveyed his total mental involvement in what was being discussed, though he hardly contributed. Then I mentioned Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s death, why it was still considered a mystery by many. He suddenly asked: “How do you know about Syama Prasad Mookerjee?” I had to tell him that when my father was a post-graduate student in Calcutta University, as its Vice-Chancellor he had arranged a scholarship for the young man from Assam. My father often reminisced about that and regretted his untimely death [in June 1953 at the age of 51]."
