U S Election 2024 Trump 2.0

Congratulations to Mr Donald Trump on his having won the election. I think that he is a good friend of India. He has always reminded me of Mr Bob Williams, a Caucasian American and my Headmaster when I was teaching Physics in a Government Senior Secondary School in Southern Africa during the late 1980s.  There were nearly 60 teachers from different countries. My headmaster used to visit and observe teachers' teaching in their classes. As he never came to my classes, I asked him why he didn't come to observe my teaching. He replied that he had seen my classes several times as he was going on rounds in the corridors in front of classrooms and that my students seemed to be actively involved with interest. When I got a phonecall that my sister's baby son  (less than one year old) passed away, my headmaster came to my flat and expressed his condolences. He was a very simple gentleman. He used to tell me that he was taught by Indians during his University student years in the US.

Mr Donald Trump and Shree Narendra Modi
