IN his first visit abroad after becoming the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi will visit the United States from September 8 to 10.
Rahul will hold several interactions in Washington DC and Dallas, including at the University of Texas, according to Sam Pitroda, Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress on Saturday. Gandhi's visit comes ahead of the US presidential elections due early November.
In a video statement, Pitroda also shared details of Gandhi's visit. "Since Rahul Gandhi has become the Leader of the Opposition, I as chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, with a presence in 32 countries, have been bombarded with requests from Indian diaspora diplomats, academicians, businessmen, leaders, international media and many others for interactions with him," Pitroda said.

The Lost Art of Agenda-free Conversations
I spent last weekend in Fuengirola, a seaside town on Andalusia’s Mediterranean coast. Successive waves of cultures and subcultures have shaped this Spanish region, each leaving its imprint in indelible ways. Yet what struck me even more than the pristine blue waters and fusion architecture was a unique conversational practice. Across Fuengirola’s restaurants, I kept noticing the same thing: tables where the meal had clearly ended but no one was leaving.
