A Sudanese journalist interviewed the Ambassador of India
H.E. Sanjay Kumar Verma at an Iftar and wanted to know about Iftars in India.
The Ambassador shared that Iftars in India were more of a homely affair which
included friends from all religions. The most popular Indian dishes during
Iftar are Koftas, Kababs, Biryanis and Firni (pudding) . His Excellency was
then asked what was his favourite Sudanese dish, to which he remarked Aseeda
and Omali (bread pudding).
On Thursday, 24th July’14,the Ambassador and his
wife Mrs. Gunjan Verma visited the patients in the Medical ward of Khartoum
Teaching Hospital and distributed food to break the fast for 80 patients
including the hospital staff. Dr.Hany Gaafar Eltom Zeyad, an active member of
the Sudanese Indian Friendship Association remarked that this was a very kind
gesture from the Indian Ambassador.
Today is Eid-ul-Fitr and I have the pleasure of wishing H.E.
Sanjay Kumar Verma a Very Happy Birthday. Remarkable coincidence isn't it?
