Coming to food, though it’s a lot spicier here as compared to France yet both of them have developed a fondness for the balushahi which is served in mess every Thursday night. Elucidating their most memorable experience at IIM Ranchi till now, both of them recount the celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi which took place with utmost zeal and fervour. While Charlotte enjoyed applying colours on each other’s faces, Etienne flaunted some Bhangra steps that he got to learn during the festivity. The schmooze ended with Charlotte inviting all of us to her penthouse for a grand party. As we got up to shake hands with them, they bade us goodbye with a “namaste” and I was reminded of the lines from the poem by Eric Cockrell.
“Whatever color your skin,
Whatever language you speak,
Whatever your sexual orientation or your religion
You are still human!!!
The sacredness of life is in the shared experience
real change and real dialogue occur when
the ears are grounded in the heart’s work…
building bridges!”
