Sushma Swaraj Ji.

She had many qualities. I'll talk about only one. Her spoken capabilities.

Her speeches were insightful, informative yet captivating. Command on language. straight forward style of speaking yet didn't insulted anybody. Combination of culture and technology.🙏

I was inspired by my grandmother. She was illiterate but made sure all her sons and her daughter were educated. She even sold her jewellery to send money to my father,her youngest son to pay University fees when the times were tough. She thought a generation ahead.
