When I finished with LSE, Laski, of his own, gave me a letter of introduction for Panditji. On reaching Delhi I sought an appointment with the PM. I suppose, because I was an Indian student returning home from London, I was given a time-slot. It was here in Parliament House that he met me. We talked for a few minutes about London and things like that and I could soon see that it was time for me to leave. So I said goodbye and as I left the room I handed over the letter from Laski, and stepped out into the great circular corridor outside. When I was half way round, I heard the sound of someone clapping from the direction I had just come. I turned to see Panditji (Nehru) beckoning me to come back. He had opened the letter as I left his room and read it. [Nehru asked:] "Why didn't you give this to me earlier?" [and I replied:] "Well, sir, I am sorry. I thought it would be enough if I just handed it over while leaving." After a few more questions, he asked me to see him again and very soon I found myself entering the Indian Foreign Service.

At Oklahoma State, I get a letter from the Cowboys. I'm so excited. "Hey, watching your progress as a football player.” All this stuff, you know. I'm so proud, showing it to everybody. A guy named Jeff Edwards, who was from Midland, who came up there on a scholarship, but he had one leg shorter than the other, and it got to bothering him, so they made him a trainer. He got the same letter. So that burst my bubble.
