my middle school student Ms. Nithya Raman

[Bijoy Misra]

Dear friends,

I taught twenty years every Sunday in an immigrant children's school that

we organized.  A Tamil girl  from my 1996 class Ms Nithya Raman is poised 

to be the Mayor of Los Angeles, the third largest city in the US.  Her TV 

gestures remind me of her presence in my class.  She expresses strong 

liberal views, committed to help diversity and fight against homelessness.  

I met her last around 2000 when she was a student at Harvard.  She 

studied Humanities.

Thought to share.

Happy Diwali.
