Thursday and Friday I was in New Delhi. We did the presentation of our new product Incomesurance. Delhi was the second city for the launch, after Mumbai. Monday I will travel for it to Kolkata (Calcutta) for the presentation.
Friday I attended meetings of the Indian Netherlands Business Circles and the the evening I was at a reception of the Ambassador of The Netherlands at his recidency. This recidency is (together with the one in Paris) considered to be the most beautiful in the Dutch diplomatic service, I couldn't find a picture. It is the former Delhi home of Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, a beautiful house, fully maintained by the Dutch Ambassy in its original state. You can sit in the library where Gandhi and Jinnah had their discussions and made their conclusions on the future of India and Pakistan, a truly historic place. Jinnah was maried to 'Ruttie' Petit, the grandaunt of our landlord in Mumbai and the sister of the Sir Petit who constructed the house where we are living right now. It's a small world ...

Como é possível o Menino andar por
lugares tão díspares e remotos no Industão tão vasto e tanta riqueza
histórica? Calcutá!Se pisaste a Zo-
na Europeia,dos ricos jardins junto
do Forte Wiliam,devias ter visto E-difícios Portugas assim como a Uni!
Nova Deli;Na Cidade Antiga lá está
a Sede do Arcibespado Católico como
o Centro de Estudos Históricos ou a
Sede das Comemorações Henriquinas.
Aprende J.B.!!!!!
É que o Menino só vê as casinhas arranjadas pelos "Dutch"....boa na mesma JB e boa Avô Milo.
E a coincidência? É engraçadíssima!Altos voos por aí...e com um senhorio assim a Índia está toda ao vosso alcance...ih,ih,ih!
