Toi plus Moi

Little children in Arunav's school were dancing to this song and it was such a magical experience that I had to share this song:

Ambassador

When we live outside our country at every moment we act as ambassadors of our country to millions of people across. It is good we can never be conscious of the pressure that thought puts on us. It helps immensely if you are a naturally good ambassador.
In spite of all the rational thoughts that every country has good, bad, great and average people, when I meet an Italian, my experiences with the person always form a part of my notion about Italy. I interact with someone from Japan - her talks, behaviour makes up the little world of Japan in my mind - I add, modify when I meet another Japanese and so I form an overall idea.

It must be the same when the Italian, Japanese, French meets me. We have that responsibility. It feels great when you feel you do not do a bad job without being conscious of trying to be an ambassador but just being yourself - what a moral booster that can be!
