It was indeed a great memorable day when I met the Hon'ble Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi at his Office in Gandhinagar on December 23, 2009. The CM was extremely delighted on receiving the book "It's Always Possible" written by Dr. Kiran Bedi, the First woman IPS Officer.
He asked me of what does Dr. Kiran Bedi think of Gujarat and prompt came my reply “She is indeed impressed by the development here in Gujarat.”
The CM congratulated me since I represented Gujarat as its cultural ambassador to Japan during a Cultural-Exchange summit in December 2009. He appreaciated my role in representing the Indian ethos abroad. He wanted that it was kids like me who can be the true ambassadors to preserve and represents our unique cultural heritage. I am sure as we meet others our world view too would change in bringing peace to this troubled world.
I explained him about the role Dr. Kiran Bedi played in making my Japan mission a success. He seemed impressed by the guidance she provided to me. The CM even expressed his desire to meet her personally and invited her to visit Gujarat in future. “Do convey this to Kiranji”, he told me.
As soon as the CM saw his sketches which I presented him, he exclaimed "Great!”. As my meeting drew to an end, I took his blessings to which he said "Sukhi raho Bete!"
