and all my dear friends... I take it as a honour to stand before you and say a few words on Indian Independence Day. It was today on 15th August that India woke up with Freedom way back in 1947 which is one of the biggest achievement for us.

It was given to me because it is my father’s name‚ and his middle name is his father’s name‚ and so on. I guess my parents wanted to keep the tradition. My last name is Guedes.
