Old Ties

I finished 'Indian Summer' and I'm in love with Nehru again. I've been his fan from my childhood and though I regard Gandhi with reverence, Nehru always was someone more human, someone one could emulate. Contrary to all the now-fashionable Nehru bashing, I think he did what best he could, even for Kashmir, under the circumstances. He was a good man with all the right ingredients and I find it fascinating that a rich and spend-thrift man like him could become the simple fellow that he was. Can't someone like him be born again and again?

With regard to Edwina and him, well, I think I can understand.
