Listening to Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam; meeting those hailing from Ethiopia, Mysore and Cuba
As i listen to Sri Venkateshwara Suprabhatam and Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam i am reminded of my stay in Tirumala. Tirumala is a place which one can visit once every year. As for notings in the national capital of Delhi i met the following people over a period of time.
It was a chance meeting with Mr Dalah from Ethiopia the other day who told me the capital is Addis Ababa. Mr Dalah is here in New Delhi as a tourist. News Channels Al Jazeera and CNN covered the African continent extensively which both of us agreed. It takes almost seven hours from Ethiopia to India by flight. Meet two students Mr Lean and Mr John from Manipur in disciplines Political Science and Sociology from Hindu College (North Campus) Delhi University. Mr Lean's father is in Central Reserve Police Force posted in New Delhi. Mr Lean had been to Manipur two years ago. I tell Mr Lean and Mr John that Assam State Chief Minister was in Chennai recently seeking investments from Tamil Nadu state. How much investment would come is hard to guess given strife torn state's inability to bring peace on a long term basis. Peace is a prerequisite for investments to flock to Assam state. If one wishes to travel to Manipur one can go by train from New Delhi to Guwahati and from Guwahati it takes almost 24 hours by road to reach Manipur. Meet a man from Nadia in West Bengal state.

Meeting those hailing from Zambia, Cuba; bring an immigration deal to protect undocumented immigrants in the US
Meet Mr Fekuta from Ethiopia, Ms Sibonelo Jere from Zambia, Yaritza and Yodeni from Cuba while taking a metro ride. They are undergoing training in JNU or Indian Institute of Mass Communication in New Delhi and are slated to stay in India till April. Ties which had been restored with Cuba by Barack Administration should be continued in the same vein by the present US administration was what we all could agree on. In Kenya we were in agreement that opposition leader Mr Odinga should be given a chance to contest against Mr Uhuru Kenyatta as elections by and large have not been fair. There is a need to hold fresh elections in Kenya. Ms Sibonelo Jere was in agreement that irrespective of the community or background he or she comes from we need to give respect to all. Respect to all and hurt to none should be the guiding light. Ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in September 2017 in the US was not a wise move. Essentially DACA led to granting of work permits to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. And DACA protected them from the threat of deportation. The US administration should show a big heart and reach an immigration deal or get DACA program up and running.
