No flowery reception!
The photograph published on page 7 of your newspaper of 26th May, 2009 shows the simply and elegantly dressed Indian Foreign Secretary, Mr. Shiv Shankar Menon, welcoming the new Indian Foreign Minister, Mr. SM Krishna, with a warm handshake and not with a big bunch of flowers.
We saw recently at the entrance of all of our ministries, how the ministers were received by our secretaries concerned on their arrival for the first time.
Theirs is democracy and ours is sycophancy!
