| With Kunal Basu in front of Oxford Library |
2 July, 2014, London: Yesterday I went to
Oxford to meet Kunal Basu and his wife Susmita. Among other places
that we visited, we also went to the Oxford
Public Library, one of the
oldest in UK. What else do you need when you have a seasoned author
like Kunal Basu showing you around Oxford.
It is said that the Oxford library tries
to procure a copy of every English book published in the world.
Today morning I went to the India
House in Aldwych to meet the
High Commissioner of India in London, His Excellency, Mr Ranjan
Mathai. India House,
which houses the Indian diplomatic mission in UK, is a iconic
building designed by Sir Herber Baker in 1930 and formally
inaugurated by King George V on July 8 same year. It faces the London
School of Economics and King's
College London.
Though I had met the Indian High
Commissioner over the past two weeks in various events, I formally
met him at his office this morning only.
From there I I went to the
Commonwealth Parliamentary
Association (CPA), London,
headquarters to meet William Ferdinand Shija, Secretary General of
CPA.
