Thank you Priyashi :). Indeed he is and so humble as well. It is quite a hardship to find such men who are great mix of the two. Certainly a high point in my life :)

In reply to Najm Nisa. Thank you Nisa :). Oh yeah it was quite an honor to spend some time with THE MAN himself. And It was wonderful reading more about him and knowing more about him. It is quite a thrill to say that it was one of the highlights of my career before my 30's :)

In reply to Alok Vats.

Thanks Alok! :). It was one heck of a day and the entire day I felt that I was in a trance. It was almost a personal experience with the man, full 3 hrs, no interruptions and I still keep boasting about the privilege that the first time I sat in a Merc, I was with Kofi Annan, right next to him :).. Definitely a high point in my life :)

I have updated a couple more pictures of the same Alok, hope they add up to the post.

As for the design of the site, I am quite confused as to what is happening. It showed like that in the morning to me and now it looks proper. I don’t really understand what is causing these challenges. Might be one of the jetpack settings which is driving me crazy now!
