“India is a pool of beauty with brain”

Miss World Bringing Laurels To India

India is a pool of beauty with brain. We have been bagging the titles of Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss Asia Pacific since years. The first of all was Reita Faria being the first Indian woman to win an international title. She was crowned ‘Miss World’ in 1966. Since then India has been winning the coveted title of Miss World. The Queen of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai went on to win the ‘Miss World’ title in 1994 followed by Diana Hayden in 1997, Yukta Mookhey in 1999 and Priyanka Chopra in 2000.

After a long pause of 17 years, when the announcement was made “And the winner of the 2017 Miss World pageant is...Miss India Manushi Chillar”, it was celebration time for India. The news became a social media buzz and the whole country was overjoyed.

RECALLING - THE MAN OF GREAT VIRTUES P.A.SANGMA

As September approaches there begins a change in Delhi, morning becomes cooler, midday sun a bit friendly, humidity too pretends to be packing off and a sense of an all-pervasive thermal comfortability becomes visible outdoors. I still remember P A Sangma was born on 1st September 1947and the remembrance takes me to look back and a montages of memories come crowding in: some events are still clear while some got blurred, perhaps the inner flash is partly diffused.
