After in-depth and passionate late-night discussions about poverty, infrastructure, corruption etc. in India, Dennis has decided that the only course of action is to become elected president. We thought, Why wait? So here he is two days later, in role, having already given out some key ministerial posts. Observe that he is already wearing a quasi-military green shirt as he addresses the new cabinet. Unfortunately being head of security I have lost all my friends.
Seriously, what we have seen by the roadside in the way of poverty, never mind in the slums, has given us a lot to think about. One thing people told us about Kiran is her total lack of any kind of condecension towards those living in poverty, of any airs or graces when she goes to meet them. I hope we can all be the same.
