10 O'Clock Morning Walk At Regina - 605

    MORNING WALK AT REGINA 

                       CANADA 

It does help when you are in a Foreign Land  and are comfortable with other Indian Languages . Knowing both Hindi and Gujarati came as a big help during my Morning Walk at Regina , Canada .


I have come to know of 4 persons of Indian Origin  who form a group in our daily 45 mts walk . Knowing the Language came as a big help to exchange our experiences.  That one of them is associated in the Textile Business and the other a Doctor by Profession made matters even more interesting .

The school at Kharagpur though had a sizable Anglo Ind...
