A MEETING WITH DR.SHASHI THAROOR

Dr.Shashi Tharoor, MP. Indomitable, unbeatable, undefeatable, positive, proactive, energetic and with a lot more perceptible attractive features. He is the member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram; a record straight 4 consecutive win from 2009. A man with a vision and a mission with statesman like disposition. A practicing politician who can think and act above political considerations in matters of public interest and national significance. A highly scholarly person- prolific writer, impressive orator, perennial thinker, voracious reader, interesting debater, a well tuned diplomat- Dr.Tharoor is holistically brilliant and spontaneously impresses any one who comes across him. That was evident in a 10 pm meeting with him the other day. After a day’s excruciating engagements, while meeting him in his residential office he was as fresh as freshness can be. He talked with attention, patience, and involvement in the topics discussed. On briefing him about CG3 and the pilot programme of CG3 LAMP ,Dr.Tharoor was quite explicit in opining the scheme to be timely, relevant and highly necessary going by the “hard times” our society is undergoing. Dr.Tharoor volunteered to attend a LAMP session very soon. In tune with CG3 thinking Dr.Tharoor agreed that education is the most valuable investment; and making children aware of basic laws of the land helps construct a strong generation. It was a meeting worth remembering and recalling for its variety and collegial ambiance.
