Dear All

One piece of today's THE HINDU delighted me - our new PM's speech is telecast across many states of US and expected to (or already ?) covered by more than 20000 US nationals. This is in a way a record - as reported - as our earlier PMs who have given speeches at US was normally within the confined corridors of NRIs or some association - not meant for larger audience at US.

Some time back, in the blog started by the natives of our village, I read from one of my cousins about a piece of news about Narendra Modi and remember giving a positive comment about it. YES, this man fascinates me not because he was a tea maker yesterday but because of the bold decisions (never before) that he is taking and simple acts of leadership gestures that he is demonstrating today.

Unlike many of you, perhaps I am not too sure of what all he did so far because I read news  papers very less and do not follow the political news religiously. But starting from the decision to have cabinet ministers less than 75 years of age (or 70?), having a direct interaction with the secretaries of various ministries, inviting SAARC Leaders for his oath taking ceremony, placing a rose flower in front of the Mahatma's statue inside the parliament before sitting in his seat (beware, though he belongs to same Gujarat like the Father of our Nation, he is from RSS background).......I prefer to stop here as it is pointless to expand when the purpose is served.

One particular aspect I like most about this man is his rude face. He gives the look of a no-nonsense master and a person who calls spade a spade - while people have affectionately chanting him as NaMo (which is the basis of RUDRAM, right ?? he he he), I look at him as Lord Rudran himself. YES, there is so much to destroyed and demolished in our country requiring reconstruction and rehabilitation. I wish and pray that he gets sufficient support and most importantly maintains this level of intensity to carry out what needs to be done in addition to what needs to be taken away....

Krishnaarpaam, as always....
