What an interesting life your father must have had and I love the laissez faire attitude he had to the tourist sites haha! I can see your resemblance to him too, and obviously your love of writing goes without saying....
Well I'll try again with the comment as it seems it did not go through last time Yes I remember Mr Shastri he was of course Nehru's successor, now you say he was disliked by the Nehru dynesty but I heard he was Nehru's hand picked successor. Shastri was hard working and incorruptible and unfortunately died of a heart attack when negotiating with Pakistan. Now if I'd been in India I'd certainly have wished to visit the Taj Mahal! I certain agree Indian women are the most beautiful especially with their jewellery
Well yes Nehru picked him to do the job of PM as he'd had a heart attack and must have trusted shastri as they had been involved so much together in the Indian struggle for Independence. shashtri died of a heart attack? In 1966? Gosh I hadn't realised. I'm glad my father met him I am trying to find the features my Dad wrote in India, they are in the Irish Times archives but those archives seem to have collapsed. Glad i don't work for them myself they are not a good paper anymore.
