Excellent women leaders

Today is the birth anniversary of Rani Lakshmi bai of Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. 

I remember a few months that I spent in Lalitpur, near Jhansi, as Principal of a school named after Rani Lakshmi Bai.  I remember my nice colleagues such as Mrs Renu Bansal, Mrs Ametha Singh and Mr Selvaraj. I remember Ms/Mrs Geetha, the cook, who used to serve delicious Aloo paratha and other items with kindness to staff and students.

Today is also the birth anniversary of Mrs Indira Gandhi. She was one of our best Prime Ministers.
