Hi Shweta sorry for the late reply. Taking your Christmas wishes now :P Wish you a happy new year
I agree with Alok. In my case as well, when I switched on the TV before going to office, all news channels were flashing this news. And the kind of reviews we were getting – just made the day. Members from different parties – all supported this decision and why not… A highly deserving award for Vajpayee ji and Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya ji.
This is one of the finest news I got today morning, when I suddenly came through the tweets of President of India. I cannot say the happiness which I get after reading it. Thanks Vidyashree for writing this blog post :)
