A stone for peace. At the world peace flame outside the Peace Palace, the seat of the International Court of Justice, The Hague, India’s contribution of an oblong shaped stone is centrally located. I’m curious to know the origins of the stone?

On the occasion of #NationalGirlChildDay2021 happy that India’s sex ratio is improving, long way to go to give dignity, equality to our women but we have to make a beginning. Delighted with my contribution with twin daughters who have now acquired wings & flown away & high.

The magnificent Karna-Ghatotkach sculpture outside Bali airport, by the master @WayanWinten , is awe-inspiring. As I enter the airport, sight of the @airvistara aircraft on the tarmac, ready for departure to Delhi, gladdens the heart yet makes me yearn for my hometown. #nostalgia

Many of us have heard the lilting John Denver melody "leaving on a jet plane'. This is a true story of how a jet plane almost left me behind. #NotOnlyDiplomacy
